This year's NSCL User Workshop will be held in East Lansing on June 2, 2008. It will immediately precede the Nuclear Structure 2008 conference (June 3-6), for the convenience of participants wishing to attend both meetings.

Because of exciting future developments at NSCL and the opportunity to present past physics results at NS2008 immediately following, the User Workshop will focus on planning for these two future opportunities:
a) Implementing GRETINA at NSCL -- discussion of plans and needs for operation at NSCL;
b) Developing a plan for the equipment and beam line layout for experiments with stopped and reaccelerated beams at NSCL.

User responses to the following questions prior to the workshop will be useful for achieving the second goal. NSCL expects to have reaccelerated beams of nuclei over a wide mass range with energies up to 3 MeV/nucleon by 2010. Please let us know:
*In what beams are you interested, and at what intensities?
*What instrumentation will you need for the experiments you have in mind? Three detectors already being considered by some users are: an active target time projection chamber, a silicon-strip + CsI detector array, and a recoil separator.
*What floor space will you need for the instrumentation?

You are requested to send your responses to raman@nscl.msu.edu no later than May 15. By analyzing them, a number of alternatives on how best to meet user needs will be developed and presented at the workshop. There will also be ample time allotted in the program for users to present their needs in person. By identifying groups that have similar needs and interests and facilitating their writing joint proposals for equipment funding, we can have a more productive meeting.

The Users' Executive Committee solicits your suggestions for making the workshop scientifically more productive for NSCL users. Please send your comments to the Chair of the Committee, Sam Tabor. To register on-line for the Workshop, please fill out and submit the registration. Housing information is posted at accommodations.
