[Pwg] Action items from the PWG workshop

[Xiaochao Zheng]

Dear PWG collaborators:

We had a successful workshop at UVA earlier this week.  Many thanks to those of you being there in person or remote, we had vibrant discussions. Many ideas emerged, and so did many action items.  We summarize these action items briefly as follows:

Action item #1: we will develop a document summarizing the positron physics program at CEBAF and describing the present status of the positron beam R&D, in perspective of PAC52.

Action item #2: we will provide peer review for all proposals and letters-of-intent that would like to be endorsed by the JLab Positron Working Group at PAC52. If you are planning to submit a full proposal, please plan to have a draft proposal ready for review, ideally about one month prior to the PAC submission deadline, and inform us before March 17th about your wish to seek for endorsement.

Action item #3: we will develop a organized forward plan, including what proposals to put forward in 2024 and 2025 such that we have at least one proposal in (or working towards) each of the main physics topics.

Action item #4: we will develop ideas about a more structured organization of the Positron Working Group.

Lastly, as Thomas Jefferson (the founder of UVA) used to say: "I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past". Indeed, regardless of past accomplishment, everyday is a new starting line.  As your host, I am glad that we have provided a venue for everyone to envision and to plan for the future positron physics program.

Sincerely,
Xiaochao, for Eric, Axel, and Doug.
