General Announcement

We were pleased to announce a Workshop on Neutrino-Nucleus Physics Using a Stopped Pion Neutrino Facility, May 23-26, 2000, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The purpose of this workshop was to develop a white paper that will identify new physics experiments that can take advantage of the very special neutrino source that may become available at the new Oak Ridge SNS. The white paper will form the basis of the scientific justification for the ORLaND proposal. The program consisted of one and a half days of invited talks, followed by two days of working sessions in subgroups to identify and develop physics proposals for the white paper. Invited speakers included:
D. Boyd (Columbus)

B. Burman (Los Alamos)

G. Drexlin (Karlsruhe)

J. Engel (Chapel Hill)

B. Holstein (Seattle/Amherst)

E. Kolbe (Basel)

K. Lande (Philadelphia)

K. Langanke (Aarhus)

S. Pollock (Boulder)

P. Vogel (Pasadena)

The areas of the subgroups are were follows:

  1. The development of new neutrino detector techniques, chaired by A. Lande and G. Drexlin
  2. Neutrino-nuclear astrophysics, chaired by K. Langanke and D. Boyd
  3. Neutrino probes of nuclear form factors, chaired by B. Holstein and S. Pollock
  4. The standard model and beyond, chaired by B. Burman and P. Vogel

Accommodations

A block of rooms was set aside at the Garden Plaza Hotel, 215 South Illinois Ave., Oak Ridge, TN 37830.
