DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Aodhan McIlvenny (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab)\, 
 Nicholas Dover (Imperial College London)\, Charlotte Palmer (Queen's Unive
 rsity Belfast)\n\nWhile multi-Hz laser facilities are becoming more widely
  available\, laser-driven ion acceleration experiments typically do not op
 erate at the Hz level.  Operation at these repetition rates not only repr
 esents a key step towards exploitation of laser-driven sources for applica
 tion but also provides large data-set to support fundamental understanding
 . \nThis mini-workshop aims to support discussion of the technical challe
 nges associated with high-repetition rate experiments including targetry\,
  diagnostics\, debris and automated control. The output of the discussion 
 will inform development of the new short-focal length experimental area (E
 A2) at the Central Laser Facility's Extreme Photonics Application Centre (
 EPAC). \nDuring the workshop\, researchers from a range of international 
 facilities will share updates on their current efforts to address these te
 chnical challenges and guided discussion will aim to identify avenues for 
 collaborative development.  The results of the discussions will be shared
  with the community via a white paper.\n \n\nhttps://indico.stfc.ac.uk/ev
