See you back inSouthern California!Workshop possibilitiesStatus and Future Prospects of Underground PhysicsGoals: Deep underground laboratories are unique venues for experiments that require minimal influence from cosmic muons. The aims of this workshop are to survey the exciting experimental and theoretical programs that address far-reaching problems in nuclear physics and beyond at such facilities. Topics in neutrino physics, nuclear astrophysics and related experiments at underground laboratories will be explored.Probing the New Standard ModelGoals: Nuclear physics will play important roles in defining the new Standard Model. Precision measurements of electroweak phenomena, searches for electric dipole moments and neutrinoless double-beta decay, and studies of fundamental symmetries are crucial elements in this endeavor. The aims of this workshop are to review the present status and future prospects of these measurements and their impacts to the new Standard Model.And Here be Dragons: Understanding the Nature of Unstable IsotopesGoals of the workshop: Summarize key activities of ongoing low-energy nuclear structure and reactions research aimed at elucidating the nature of unstable nuclei. Highlight the overarching questions to be addressed by this research and issues to be resolved in the context of this work. Both theory and experiment will be covered.Subject: New results, primarily from RHIC (assume most LHC results are out before DNP'11 and next LHC HI run isn't until Fall 2012?). Hot topics: 500GeV p+p results, 200GeV Au+Au with VTX, Au+Au energy scan.Longitidiinal - primarily results from 500GeV run: A_L (W) and A_LL for DeltaG.Transverse (500 and 200GeV) - STAR FMS, PHENIX MPC results[Possibly also pQCD theory talk. Global analysis and/or transverse phenomena (e.g. theoretical advances in Drell-Yan calculations)]Theory (primary high Pt phenomena and/or heavy flavor AdS/CFT related?)v_2 vs E (RHIC and LHC)heavy flavor (new RHIC results + any relevant LHC)Bulk properties from E scan
