FACET-II Science Opportunities Workshops Summary Report
Hogan, Mark.
To further define the scientific program and performance requirements for FACET-II, a week of workshops were held at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory on October 12-16, 2015. This was the first of a series of such workshops to be held with the user community for the FACET-II National User Facility.

To further define the scientific program and performance requirements for FACET-II, a week of workshops were held at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory on October 12-16, 2015. This was the first of a series of such workshops to be held with the user community for the FACET-II National User Facility. A baseline design for FACET-II has been established in the FACET-II CDR, but there are numerous upgrade options under consideration. The priority and timing of implementing these options must be responsive to the needs and interests of the user community. As at FACET, it is envisioned that approximately half of the experimental time on FACET-II will be devoted to the primary Plasma Wakefield Acceleration program (PWFA). All experimental proposals, including PWFA, are reviewed and approved by the SLAC program advisory committee, SAREC. In addition to a broad scope of PWFA-related topics, the FACET experimental program has included Dielectric Wakefield Acceleration (DWA), materials experiments with extreme fields, development of new diagnostic techniques, and several smaller experiments. In addition, FACET-II could provide a program with very intense beams of Compton-based gamma rays. To reflect this wide diversity of experimental interests, the week was divided into five individual workshops: Accelerator Physics of Extreme Beams, Material Interactions with Extreme Fields, Plasma Acceleration Based Linear Colliders, Plasma Acceleration Based XFELs, and Applications of Compton Based Gamma Rays. The workshops on Extreme Beams, Colliders and XFELs were largely on plasma wakefield Show Partial Abstract
