HPCAT Workshop on Advances in Matter under Extreme Conditions

This HPCAT workshop will highlight the benchmark of the 10th year of operation of HPCAT and discuss the recent advances in high-pressure synchrotron techniques and in extreme conditions science. Looking forward, the workshop will also identify both scientific and technical challenges and research directions in the next decade through discussions in the breakout panels. The objectives of the HPCAT workshop are (1) to articulate the foremost scientific challenges in the field of extreme conditions science; (2) identify the science and technology gaps to address these challenges; and (3) define research directions in the area of high-pressure synchrotron science to advance the exploration of matter under extreme conditions.
