A Vision for Photon Science at Jefferson Lab Ultraviolet Laser (10 eV) Today Soft X-ray Laser (500 eV) 5 years “Next Generation Light Source” (2000 eV X-rays) 10 years
First Step (1 Year Plan) • Demonstrate full capability of UV Laser (6 months) • Establish a research community and program • - individual users from local universities • - bridge and joint appointments • Obtain support for operation of UV facility • -initial operating funds from non-DOE sources: $500K to $1M • →strong encouragement for DOE BES to support
The Challenges Ahead • Building a broader VUV science program • - user community • - funding • Do we have the right approach? • Implementation of “JLAMP” • How do we succeed with BES? • Other funding sources?? • Our position regarding NGLS • support another proposal? • work towards bringing NGLS here?
