Mini-Workshop on Short X-Ray Pulses Generation and Applications at the Advanced Photon Source

Friday, February 15, 2008 in Building 401, Room E1100/1200

Organizers:

  • A. Nassiri APS/ASD
  • J. Wang APS/XSD

Goals:

  • Present and discuss all viable accelerator configuration options that are technically sound, feasible, and cost effective.
  • Review and discuss specific types of science that can be done with the APS short x-ray pulse source.
  • Build consensus on the most effective and affordable option for implementing ps-science capabilities at the APS.
  • Submit a comprehensive proposal to the DOE Office of Basic Energy Sciences requesting funds to implement short x-ray pulse source at the APS.
