"Low-Energy Community Meeting", Argonne National Lab, August 17-18, 2012
The second annual Low-Energy Community Meeting will be held on August 17-18, 2012
in connection with the Nuclear Structure 2012 Meeting at Argonne National Laboratory.
This community meeting follows the successful first Joint Users Meeting held in East
Lansing in August 2011. Many scientists in low-energy nuclear physics now carry out
experiments at several user facilities, and major equipment such as GRETINA will
rotate between the respective laboratories. Hence the U.S. low-energy user community
will continue to gather together to discuss science, plans, and needs within a
single community meeting. This new format has been enthusiastically endorsed by
the executive committees of the user groups of each facility, the GRETINA Advisory
Committee, and the community at the 2011 meeting.
The meeting will consist of limited presentations, breakout sessions, working group summaries
from the breakout sessions, and a town-meeting style open forum. Details of the meeting will be
announced later. If you have ideas about what should be included at the meeting or any general
suggestions or comments, please contact the Organizers (listed below) or
any of the members of your respective user executive
committee. A reservation form for rooms will soon be put online.

We look forward to seeing you at Argonne National Laboratory in August.
Sincerely,
The Low Energy Community Meeting Organizing Committee

"Exotic Beam Summer School 2012", Argonne National Lab, August 4-11, 2012
This year's Exotic Beam Summer School will be held at Argonne National
Laboratory, August 4-11, 2012. Applications for the school are now being
accepted, and those interested in applying should go to
http://www.dep.anl.gov/p_graduate/ebss/
to complete the application process. Applications will be accepted through
May 15, 2011. In addition, the conference
Nuclear Structure 2012 (NS12) is being held at ANL and
will take place the week following the school, and students attending the
school may wish to attend the conference as well. We would appreciate if
you could share this announcement with graduate students and young
researchers who you believe would benefit from attending the school.
"Workshop on Detector Arrays for Nuclear Science", Pacific Northwest National Lab, May 24-25, 2012
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will host the nuclear physics community for a workshop on
detector arrays for nuclear science on May 24-25, 2012. The purpose of the workshop is to explore
science opportunities and detector requirements for use in the next generation of accelerator-based nuclear
physics experiments. Planned topics include: scientific efforts and facility overviews where detector arrays
will be required, review of the state of the art of detector arrays, description of current and
future detector array needs, and identifying upcoming scientific opportunities. In addition to a
keynote speaker, presentations, discussions, and a reception, the workshop will offer tours of
the PNNL campus, demonstrations of detector systems, and a tour of the LIGO Laboratory located
north of PNNL at the Hanford reservation.
