There will be an Intensity Frontier (IF) workshop at Argonne National Lab from April 25-27, 2013. Please plan to attend as this is the only workshop dedicated to the IF ahead of the main "Snowmass" meeting in Minneapolis on 7/29 - 8/6, 2013. <u>If you are planning to attend, please see the email from JoAnne Hewett and Harry Weerts at the bottom of this email for further info and a doodle poll that will simplify our planning.</u> <br>
</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">2. Since we went through this exercise recently, our subgroup has no additional dedicated face-to-face meetings planned. However, we will have one or two <u>phone meetings</u> to discuss our strategy for the Snowmass meeting. <u>The first phone meeting will take place on Monday Feb 11, 2013 at 8:30am PST (11:30am EST, 4:30pm GMT)</u><b><u>.</u> Connection details will be sent later to those who register for our group. </b>If you can't make this phone meeting, but want to stay informed, be sure to sign up for our email list mentioned above. </font></div>
<div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">3. Our goal for Snowmass 2013 will be to provide a new document that includes an updated physics case for our subgroup, which includes all the latest constraints, an update on planned experiments, a projection of where we think the field can be in 10 to 15 years, and an outline of what new detectors and/or facilities are needed for future progress. We will again need contributors, and we hope that we can count on many of you to contribute as you did last time.</font></div>
<div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">4. We again plan to cover hidden-sector photons, chameleons, and axions (incl. axion-like particles). However, for axions, we will coordinate with the cosmic frontier (CF) subgroup CF3 (Non-WIMP Dark Matter). They will focus on axion searches involving microwave-cavities, the Sun, and atoms. Our focus will be on accelerator-based searches, including lasers. We are planning on a joint axion session in Minneapolis. If you are interested in axions, we encourage you to sign up for both our subgroup and CF3 (conveners: Alex Kusenko and Leslie Rosenberg). In addition to the IF Argonne meeting, you may also be interested in attending the CF workshop at SLAC (3/5-3/8) or SnowDARK in Snowbird, Utah, 3/22-3/25. <br>
</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Hope to talk to all of you soon at our phone meeting. </font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
