Place and Time of the Workshop: The workshop will be held in the Applied Computational & Engineering Sciences (ACES) facility at the University of Texas-Austin (SE corner of 24th and Speedway Streets) from 8:30 AM to about 5:30 PM on Monday and Tuesday, December 11 and 12, and concluding at 1 PM on Wednesday, December 13.

Organizational Approach: A mix of plenary and breakout sessions will be used (following the model developed at Snowmass), with parallel breakout sessions held in five topic areas. Two co-organizers for each breakout group will be responsible for arranging the program and leading the discussion.

Participation: Prospective Participants interested in making presentations in one of the five topical are encouraged to send a title and very brief abstract of the proposed presentation by e-mail to the breakout area organizers listed below:

1. Energetic Alpha-Particle Physics
