[Hps] U.S. Dark Matter Workshop March 23-25, 2017

[Jaros, John A.]

FYI from DOE DPF:

U.S. Dark Matter Workshop

Save the Dates - March 23-25, 2017

A workshop focusing on potential new small-scale projects in the U.S. Dark Matter search program will be held at the University of Maryland, College Park March 23-25, 2017.

The DOE HEP office has requested that a community-organized workshop be held in early 2017 to examine the next experimental step(s) in the search for dark matter. The focus will be on opportunities for dark matter searches in line with the P5-recommended portfolio of small-scale projects, targeting well-motivated areas of parameter space that are not expected to be covered by existing projects. The workshop will be the first step toward a white-paper report that lays out the science case and possible project concepts.

The organization of the workshop is in progress and a bulletin will appear shortly that provides the program, as well as registration and other useful information.

This workshop represents an important opportunity to consider new small-scale experimental thrusts for the U.S. Dark Matter program and we encourage all those interested in Dark Matter experiments to attend. Please block off these dates!
