We invite you to attend the International Workshop on Physics with Positrons at Jefferson Lab. This workshop is organized to explore the complementary physics potential offered by a polarized positron beam at JLab. We seek presentations and discussions in the context of CEBAF 12 GeV, of a future Positron-Ion collider (complementary to an Electron-Ion Collider), and also low-energy positron applications. Workshop proceedings will be a basis for an informative White Paper for a positron physics program at JLab.

Topics include: -Multi-photon exchange -Deeply virtual Compton scattering -Electroweak structure of hadrons -Heavy quark production -Beyond the Standard Model physics -Low energy polarized positron beam applications -Polarized electron and positron sources -Multi-turn accumulation and fast kickers -Positron beams at CEBAF, JLEIC and LERF

The workshop program will be plenary sessions composed of both invited talks steered and contributed talks. A reception and networking/poster session are also planned. Students are especially encouraged to contribute to the workshop poster session. Those interested in presenting at the workshop are encouraged to contact the organizing committee jpos17@jlab.org.
