Next Generation X-ray Sources

Workshop
Friday, May 1, 2009
McGill University

Around the world, next generation x-ray sources are either under construction or being proposed. The Canadian Institute for Synchrotron Radiation (CISR) is hosting this workshop to inform the Canadian Community about the status and the exciting new science that is being proposed to take advantage of these new sources. One goal of the workshop is finding out about the community in Canada interested in such projects. With enough interest, a working group will be established to discuss how to proceed further.

This workshop will highlight the energy recovery linacs (ERL), x-ray free electron lasers (XFEL), and laser induced x-ray sources. Topics will feature the science behind the new sources, source properties and the proposed new science they allow.

Participants should register by midnight on Monday, April 27, 2009 in order to be included in the order for lunch. There is no registration fee.
