Since the 2004 Lake Geneva Workshop, the APS has performed three years of detailed engineering design on crab cavities, their performance and impact on the storage ring, and can now propose the short pulse x ray (SPX) source as an imminent, medium cost upgrade to the APS. The SPX significantly exceeds flux capabilities at current synchrotron-based slicing sources, and represents a completely different parameter space from that of the LCLS. The goal of this Workshop is to identify the many untapped areas for research and novel applications that would be enabled by the realization of an Argonne SPX.
Goals of the May 9 APS SPX Workshop:
- Review, propose and brainstorm on future science that will become possible with the unique capabilities afforded by the APS short-pulse CW source. Enable leading edge research in AMO, Chemistry, Condensed Matter Physics, Materials Science and Engineering.
- Formulate a comprehensive path leading to a proposal to the DOE Office of Basic Energy Sciences requesting funds to implement a short-pulse x-ray source at the APS, and to instrument facilities for short-pulse experiments which may include both hard and soft x-rays.
- Build and continue to grow the ultrafast science user community for cutting-edge time-resolved science to the APS.
