**Fermilab Proton Driver Workshop**\
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory\
6 - 9 October 2004

FIRST BULLETIN

A very intense proton source has been identified by the Fermilab
Long-Range Planning Committee as one of the leading candidates for a
future facility at Fermilab. The Fermilab Director has requested a study
to prepare for the next step, which will require documentation
sufficient to establish mission need, as defined by the DOE CD-0
process.

The purpose of the workshop is to explore the potential physics program
that could be executed at a 2 MW proton source at Fermilab. In
particular, the physics that could be pursued using very intense primary
beams of up to 2 MW at 8 GeV and of 2 MW at higher energies up to the
maximum Fermilab Main Injector energy of 150 GeV. The presentations and
discussion at the workshop will be used to both prepare and articulate
the case for a new era of high intensity physics at Fermilab.

1\. DATES\
The workshop will begin at 8:30 am on Wednesday 6^th^ October, and end
at noon on Saturday 9^th^ October.

2\. LOCATION\
The workshop will be located at Fermilab. Plenary Sessions will be in
One West on the first floor of Wilson Hall.

3\. REGISTRATION\
Please register online in advance of the workshop. This will enable site
passes etc to be prepared for you. Workshop badges etc can be picked up
at the registration desk from 8:00 am Wednesday 6^th^ October. The
registration desk will be located outside of the Plenary Meeting Room
(One West on the first floor of Wilson Hall). Note that there is no
registration fee.

\
6. RECEPTION\
There will be a reception on Wednesday 6^th^ October, from 5:30 to 7:30
pm, on the second floor crossover of Wilson Hall. All participants and
companions are invited to attend.

7\. E-MAIL, COMPUTER TERMINALS, and WIRELESS\
An E-mail Center is set up on the Ground Floor North of Wilson Hall.
There you will find PCs and a number of laptop connections. These
facilities have been set up for use in checking your e-mail.
Instructions for logging on to an account at your home institution and
information about print queues are posted in the Center. This facility
is open 24 hours a day. In addition, wireless connectivity is possible
in most of Wilson Hall and in the User's Center.

All laptops must be registered in order for them to work at Fermilab.
You may register your laptop at: <http://fndcg0.fnal.gov/docs.html>

You can also check online to see if your [system\'s wireless and UTP
(hardwire)
interfaces](http://miscomp.fnal.gov:7777/pls/miscomp/miscomp.SYSADMIN.system_search?req_id=99999)
are registered in MISCOMP.

8\. SITE ACCESS

Site access is straightforward if you have a currently valid visitor\'s
ID from Fermilab or another U. S. Department of Energy institution. For
those who do not already have an ID, due to heightened security, entry
to the Site [must be made through the Pine Street entrance on your first
visit]{.underline}. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU HAVE REGISTERED FOR THE
WORKSHOP BEFORE ARRIVING so that a one-day\'s visitor\'s pass will have
been prepared for you and your companions and be available for pick up
at the Guard Post on Pine Street. Please be prepared to show a
government-issued photo ID (i.e., driver\'s license or passport) in
order to pick up your pass.

At the workshop there will be a registration desk where you can pick up
your Workshop name badge. This will serve as your pass and will be valid
throughout the days of the Workshop. During this time, you may access
the Site through either the Pine Street entrance or the Batavia Road
entrance off Route 59. Your name badge should be carried and displayed
at all times.\
\
9. NON-U.S. CITIZEN REGISTRANTS AND COMPANIONS\
Non-U.S. citizen registrants and companions are required to present
their passports, I-94 cards, and/or Permanent Resident Alien Green Card
to the Secretariat at the time of on-site registration so that copies
may be made of these documents. If you have a valid Fermilab visitor\'s
card or valid ID card from another U.S. Department of Energy facility or
institution, you will be asked to show that card so that a copy may also
be made of it. Please be sure to have the appropriate documents with you
at the time you register on site for the Workshop.
