Hidden

Sector
...
Photons,
...
Axions,
...
and WISPs Working Group
Purpose
The "Hidden Sector Photons, Axions, and WISPs Working Group" is one of the six working groups exploring new physics opportunities for the Intensity Frontier Workshop to be held in the Washington, D.C. area November 30-December 2, 2011. (See http://www.intensityfrontier.org/
...
).
...
Our
...
Working
...
Group
...
will
...
examine
...
the
...
physics
...
behind
...
searches
...
for
...
hidden
...
sector
...
photons,
...
axions,
...
and
...
Weakly
...
Interacting
...
Sub-eV
...
Particles
...
(WISPS),
...
the
...
scientific
...
opportunities
...
presented
...
by
...
such
...
searches,
...
the
...
facilities
...
and
...
technologies
...
required
...
for
...
these
...
searches,
...
and
...
how
...
new
...
facilities
...
and
...
technologies
...
can
...
expand
...
them.
...
Our goal
...
will
...
be
...
to
...
present
...
a
...
compelling
...
case
...
for
...
this
...
physics
...
at
...
the
...
Intensity
...
Frontier
...
Workshop,
...
demonstrate
...
interest
...
in
...
both
...
the
...
Nuclear
...
Physics
...
and
...
High
...
Energy
...
Physics
...
communities,
...
and
...
characterize
...
on-going
...
and
...
future
...
research
...
possibilities.
...
Our group
...
is
...
responsible
...
for
...
summarizing
...
its
...
findings
...
in
...
a
...
written
...
report
...
to
...
DOE,
...
20-50
...
pages
...
in
...
length,
...
to
...
be
...
submitted
...
within
...
two
...
months
...
of
...
the
...
Workshop.

report.
...
We
...
urge
...
everyone
...
interested
