A workshop on end-end experiments with the positronium system

The goal of this workshop is to brainstorm the different elements needed to set up an end-end physics program using the positronium system. For such an endeavour to succeed it is essential to plan together at an early stage with an interdisciplinary team of domain experts. In order to keep the discussion focussed we would like to cover the following topics:

• The physics potential using a positronium system
• Existing positronium based experimental programs
• Active materials, photodetectors (conventional and quantum)
• Front-end and backend electronics
• Utility of pico-second level timing and synchronization
• Positronium source and beamline
• Simulation, triggering  and reconstruction
