Workshop on Production and Applications of High Peak Power,
Short Pulse, THz Radiation

SLAC, Friday/Saturday, August 19/20, 2005


Dear colleagues,

This is a follow up to the announcement you recently
received for the Workshop on Production and Applications of
High Peak Power, Short Pulse, THz Radiation to be held on
August 19 and 20 at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center
in the Redwood Room of the Research Office Building,
number 48, side A/B. We have been pleased at the initial
response to our THz workshop announcement and wish to update
you on the arrangements as well as ask you to email your intention
to participate so that we can ensure that we have
reserved adequate facilities.
  1. Participation:
    We request an email response from those of you that are
    intending to participate in this conference to
    Kate McMillen (mcmillen@slac.stanford.edu) who is in
    charge of the workshop arrangements.


  2. Housing:
    Housing may be arranged at the SLAC Guest House located on our campus.
    A limited block of rooms has been set aside for this workshop
    on a 'first-come' basis and will be held until August 15.
    Please refer to the THz Workshop when contacting them by e-mail
    at slacguesthouse@stanford.edu.
    Phone (650) 926-2800
    FAX: (650) 926-5388

  3. Breakfast:
    Continental breakfast will be provided both mornings.

    We look forward to your participation,
    George Caryotakis, SLAC
    Neville Luhmann, UC Davis
    Claudio Pellegrini, UCLA

Adjourn

Working Group 1:


High Peak Power, Short Pulse
THz sources: Chair: A. Vlieks, SLAC

Working Group 2:


Applications: Chair: P. Bucksbaum, U. of Michigan


Some of the physics and technology issues to be discussed
in Working Group 1, for a high repetition rate RF
photocathode gun driven THz FEL facility are:
 
a. Comparison between THz sources using transition
radiation, undulator radiation or other types of radiation;
b. High repetition rate, X-Band klystrons;
c. Robust, high QE photo-cathodes;
d. UV photon recycling for the photo-injector;
e. Optimized, compact, high repetition rate powerful, short pulse lasers;
f. System issues (timing, jitter, etc.).

Some of the issues to be discussed in Working Group 2 are:

a. The desirable bandwidth and pulse duration of the THz radiation;
b. Relative importance of average and peak power;
c. The desired wavelength range;
d. Possible layout of the experimental areas.
