---++2014 Caltech Ground-layer Adaptive Optics Workshop

The science motivation and technological solutions for ground-layer adaptive optics (GLAO) are maturing rapidly.  Improved seeing over moderate field of view (arc minutes) holds the potential to reinvigorate existing, substantial investments in 5-10 meter telescope instrumentation.

This informal mini-workshop will explore the motivation and potential implementations of GLAO.  Discussions will be free-form and new ideas and interchange are welcome.

|*Date and Time*| Session 1 | Sunday 14 Sept 2014 2p-5p | Overview and Science |
||Session 2 | Monday 15 Sept 2014 9a-4p | Implementation and Strategy |
|*Location:*| Hameetman Auditorium | Cahill Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Caltech||
|*Dial-in:*| 866-675-1191 |x8203140||
|*Polycom IP:*| 131.215.193.38 | (by request only - expecting Wizinowich and Lacy on Polycom)||

*Workshop Goals*
   * Scientifically motivate an assessment of GLAO opportunities
   * Review the technical maturity and competitive landscape for GLAO-augmented science in the coming decade
   * Review the best turbulence measurement statistics for Mauna Kea
   * Review detailed performance modeling to assess the scientific potential of GLAO on 2.2 - 30m telescopes
   * Assess the technical maturity and demonstrated performance of adaptive secondary mirrors
   * Bring together parties interested in the future of GLAO on Mauna Kea
