4. 3/15/2006 4 Working Groups Beam-Plasma Physics Chair: Patric Muggli Scientific Secretary: Ian Blumenfeld Laboratory Astrophysics Chair: Pisin Chen Scientific Secretaries: Chien-wen Chen & Chih-Ching Chen Condensed Matter Physics at Ultrafast Times Scales Chair: Hans Siegmann Scientific Secretary: Sara Gamble SABER Accelerator Physics Chair: Alex Chao Scientific Secretary: Melissa Lincoln

5. 3/15/2006 5 Working Group Charges C harge: Consider experiments possible at SABER and 1) Determine the required beam parameters 2) Estimate required beam time and calendar duration. 3) Describe space and infrastructure needs 4) Identify parameters and requirements that are particularly important and could strongly leverage the scientific results. G oals of this workshop are to inform you, the potential user community, about SABER and to explore the range of science possible at SABER. G oal of the SABER accelerator working group is develop the SABER accelerator design. C harge: 1) Review design work to date 2) Identify aspects of the design that need developing and calculations and experiments that would address them
