PANEL QUESTIONS FOR 8-10AM DISCUSSION ON DAY 2
Facilities Panel*
1. Compare and contrast facility capabilities. What facility capabilities (including diagnostics and targets) are needed to support the evolution of HEDLP?
2. For each scientific area, provide a sense of the relative importance of small scale, intermediate scale, and large scale experimental facilities.
3. Identify compelling experiments that that can be done in the next five years on the various facilities.
4. Identify and comment on other issues as needed.
*Facilities include:
Large scale: NIF, Omega, Z, LCLS
Intermediate scale: Jupiter, Trident, Z-Beamlet, NDCX, Nike
University scale: Univ. of Texas, Univ. of Nevada, Reno, Cornell
Panel should modify this list as needed.
Scientific Opportunities Panels
1. Identify compelling research opportunities in each of the panel presentation subareas.
2. What is needed (experimental and computational resources, personnel support) to realize these opportunities? What is the state of the university community in each presentation subarea?
3. Identify needed workshops to further explore scientific opportunities in the presentation subareas.
4. Identify and comment on other issues as needed.
Summary questions (Co-chairs and panel lead and presenters - discuss on 2nd day)
1. What is needed to strengthen the field of HEDLP? Comment on the mix of funding for individual investigators, user programs, and other infrastructure such as computational and target fabrication capabilities.
2. Identify a package of compelling scientific opportunities appropriate for communicating the excitement and potential of HEDLP.
