Jefferson Lab is spearheading a strategic plan to develop cutting-edge photon science capabilities, starting with a 10 eV Ultraviolet Laser and advancing to a 2000 eV Next Generation Light Source over the next decade. In the first year, the focus will be on demonstrating the full capabilities of the UV Laser, establishing a collaborative research community, and securing $500K to $1M in initial operating funds from non-DOE sources. The plan outlines challenges in funding and user engagement while emphasizing the necessity to align with BES and explore additional funding avenues to support the growth of the VUV science program.

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?
