The gamma-gamma working group of ALCPG will hold a workshop
at SLAC on a proposal for a photon collider test facility on
November 21-23, 2002.
A draft of the proposal can be found at
http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~gronberg/SLC-gg_draft.pdf
the workshop website is available at
http://www-conf.slac.stanford.edu/lepcf/
Topics to be discussed include:
Photon Collider physics at a future LC
The potential for a low energy photon collider demonstration
to increase confidence in the technical feasability of a photon
collider facility at a future LC.
Detailed discussions on the requirements for a
photon collider demonstration at SLC including:
Laser and Optics hardware.
Current status of SLC and requirements for its revival.
Observation of gamma-gamma luminosity using SLD
or other detectors.
A roundtable discussion of the timescales for decisions about
the project scope of a future LC and whether a photon
collider test facility can have an impact on those decisions.
The possibility of photon collider experiments at sub-LC energies.
Participants are kindly requested to register at the website so that
we may have a head count for coffee and doughnuts.
