We are pleased to announce the following workshop :
ESF Meeting 2004
Network on Future Advanced Light Sources (FALS)
Workshop : Needs and opportunities for Future Advanced Light Sources
October 2004, 10th-12th
Propriano, Corsica (France)
http://www-drecam.cea.fr/
The workshop aims at evaluating the needs and fields of application of
future short-wavelength light sources by gathering European scientists from
different communities. It will broadly cover novel scientific aspects of
future advanced light sources and the associated technological challenges.
Critical issues such as mechanisms to achieve shorter wavelengths, peak
power, pulse shape, pulse jitter, synchronization between primary and
secondary pulses (ěpump-probeî), transform limited pulses (full longitudinal
coherence), EUV and X-ray optics, detectors will be addressed in regards
with the type of experiment foreseen : time-resolved, flux-hungry or in the
non-linear regime. The meeting should allow potential users to orientate
themselves between the different new proposed short-wavelength light sources
in Europe, and to focus on proposed applications developing a vision of
science for the future. For this purpose, a user guide with the different
European sources will be prepared. The programme will comprise a broad
overview of the different fields with selected talks by expert from
scientific communities that do not meet and interact regularly and who are
currently using lasers or synchrotron radiation or X-ray table-top sources.
This workshop takes place in the frame of the European Science Foundation
network on Future Advanced Light Sources (FALS), chaired by I. Lindau, for
the development of science by bringing together leading researchers to
debate alternative light sources such as high order harmonics produced in
gases, laser plasma sources, synchrotron radiation and Free Electron Lasers.
A first exploratory workshop took place in Zurich (October 23rd-24th, 2000)
and was followed by a workshop in Berlin (Dec 8th-9th, 2003) on
"Opportunities and challenges for atomic and molecular science at the
European FEL and X-FEL sources", chaired by U. Becker and L. Avaldi.
The present workshop will gather a maximum of 70 participants. It will take
place in Propriano, Corsica, from October the 10th to October the 12th,
2004. The programme will consist of invited presentations. The workshop is
opened to other participants. Registration fees for participants are fixed
to 350 Euros and include bus transportation from Ajaccio airport, local
housing and meals. A limited number of student grants will also be available.
