[Hps] trident summit

[Nathan Baltzell]

Hi All,

The summit dates are finalized to July 25 and 26.

At JLab we currently have the meeting room above the
counting house reserved for those entire two days.
Although we can try to find something more convenient
if people don’t have accelerator site access.

The plan is to get together experts in every ingredient of the analysis (theory, simulation, detector, recon, analysis) AND also some "fresh eyes” so we can determine if we are missing something.
