[Nif_user_group] Encouragement to attend and submit white papers for the Town Hall Meeting on Frontiers of Plasma Science

[Don Lamb]

Dear NIF User Group Member,

As most of you know, the DOE Office of Fusion Energy Sciences is 
sponsoring a series of community-led events to identify compelling 
scientific challenges at the frontiers of plasma physics as well as the 
general requirements necessary to address these challenges in the next 
decade.*

It is important that the compelling scientific challenges in high energy 
density physics (HEDP) and the general requirements necessary to address 
these challenges in the next decade be discussed at these events, whose 
scope is far larger than just HEDP.

I therefore want to strongly encourage you to attend the first event, a 
Town Hall Meeting that will be held in the Washington DC area on June 30 
and July 1, 2015.

I also want to thank those of you who are writing white papers for the 
Town Hall Meeting, and strongly encourage others to do so, whether or 
not you will be able to attend it. *The deadline for submitting white 
papers is Friday, June 19th, which is less than two weeks away.*

Sincerely, Don Lamb
Chair, NIF User Group
