Program | The advent of the first free-electron X-ray lasers, FLASH in 2004 and LCLS in 2009, may prove to be the most profound development since the invention of the laser and, equally, the synchrotron. Sharp improvements in a number of laser parameters, most notably intensity and pulse duration, support this expectation. This brings scientific dreams within reach, that have inspired scientists since decades: The spectrum ranges from nonlinear X-ray optics to X-ray structural analysis of individual macro molecules. Indeed, the unprecedented opportunities and expectations have triggered considerable investments and research activities worldwide. By the end of the decade, a dozen of X-ray laser facilities can be expected to be operational. The School will bring together scientists who have played a leading role in developing and applying free-electron X-ray lasers. The primary goal is teaching the fundamentals of free-electron laser to young scientists and providing them with an overview of the present status X-ray free-electron laser science. Subjects: • Fundamentals of X-ray physics • Fundamentals of free-electron lasers • Status and prospects of X-ray laser physics • Interaction with matter • Coherent imaging Confirmed Speakers: • Rafael Abela (Paul Scherrer Institute) • Louis DiMauro (The Ohio State University) • Roger Falcone (Berkeley) • Josef Feldhaus (DESY) • Gianluca Geloni (European XFEL) • Jerry Hastings (LCLS Stanford) • Tetsuya Ishikawa (RIKEN SPring-8) • Franz Kärtner (DESY) • Jens Limpert (Friedrich Schiller University Jena) • Ralf Röhlsberger (DESY) • Nina Rohringer (DESY) • Jörg Rossbach (DESY) • Robin Santra (CFEL Hamburg) • Ilme Schlichting (MPI Heidelberg) • Klaus Sokolowski-Tinten (University of Duisburg-Essen) • Peter Schmüser (DESY) • Christian Schroer (TU Dresden) • Edgar Weckert (DESY Hamburg) • Joachim Ullrich (PTB Braunschweig) |
