This is the report of the Workshop on Opportunities in THz Science, held on February 12-14, 2004 in Arlington, VA. This workshop brought together researchers who use or produce THz radiation for physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, and materials science to discuss new research opportunities and common resource needs. The charge from the sponsors of the workshop was to focus on basic science questions within these disciplines that have and can be answered using THz radiation.

Tubing and rods of the S.P. Pedro-Nepple No.1 well were pulled and the well was prepared for running of Schlumberger's Cased Hole Formation Resistivity Tool (CHFR) in selected intervals. The CHFR tool was successfully run and data was captured. The CHFR formation resistivity readings were compared to original open hole resistivity measurements. Separation between the original and CHFR resistivity curves indicate both swept and un-swept sand intervals. Both watered out sand intervals and those with higher remaining oil saturation have been identified. Due to the nature of these turbidite sands being stratigraphically continuous, both the swept and unswept layers have been correlated across to one of the four nearby offset shallow wells. As a result of the cased hole logging, one well was selected for a workover to recomplete and test suspected oil saturated shallow sand intervals. Well S.P. Pedro-Nepple No.2 was plugged back with cement excluding the previously existing production interval, squeeze cemented behind casing, selectively perforated in the shallower ''Bell'' zone and placed on production to develop potential new oil reserves and increase overall well productivity. Prior workover production averaged 3.0 BOPD for the previous six-months from the original ''Meyer'' completion interval. Post workover well production was increased …

Interview with printer Johnny Cox. The interview includes Cox's personal experiences about attending the Texas International Pop Festival in Lewisville, Texas, enrolling in Texas Tech University, and playing in bands while at Texas Tech. Cox talks about generational conflicts with his parents, taking guitar lessons as a teenager, the appeal of the Beatles and their music, his high school friends and activities, changing clothing styles in the Sixties, meeting his first wife, his opposition to the Vietnam War, his decision to attend the Texas International Pop Festival, drug use at the festival, his first personal use of LSD, how LSD put the music in a different perspective for him, the "free stage," and the Texas International Pop Festival as a turning point in his life. He also comments on Janis Joplin's performance, Canned Heat and B.B. King, the performances of Led Zeppelin and Spirit, and crowd behavior at the festival.

Detailed knowledge of how materials respond to strong shocks or other extreme conditions on rapid timescales (such as laser heating) are required to support LLNL missions of national security and stockpile stewardship. This project started in FY01 to develop and demonstrate a new pump-probe characterization capability for investigating ultrafast changes in the chemical and electronic structure of materials under extreme conditions with picosecond time resolution. The LLNL COMET (Compact Multipulse Terawatt) [1] is a compact 15 TW laser facility operating at 1054 nm wavelength, and utilizes the technique of chirped pulse amplification to produce two high power beams at a rate of 1 shot every 4 minutes. A short pulse length varied from 500 fs to 25 ps and a long 600 ps (FWHM) pulse is focused in a high intensity line focus with a traveling wave geometry to generate an intense Ni-like Pd ion 4d-4p x-ray laser (XRL) line at 14.7 nm (84.5 eV). Total energy in the two beams is of order 3-7 J to produce lasing where the peak-to-peak delay between the laser pulses is found to be optimal at 700 ps with the short pulse arriving after the long pulse. Typical COMET x-ray laser characteristics are …
