LCLS Hard X-ray Upgrade Science Workshop, July 29-31, 2009
ANNOUNCEMENT FROM LCLS:
The LCLS has had a dramatic start up at its shortest wavelength (1.5 Å) reaching saturation on April 14, 2009 with 1.1 mJ per pulse energy (see P. Emma's paper at PAC 2009) . This is the baseline performance, but there is room for more. We have scheduled a workshop July 29-31 to discuss the scientific opportunities that near term options for enhanced performance (wavelength reach, polarization, pulse duration, etc.) will enable as well as the science drivers for the long term development of LCLS. It will be an opportunity for the broad scientific community to interact with the LCLS team and the FEL physicists to investigate what is wanted and where the science of LCLS might go. The format will allow for significant discussion amongst participants.Please go to the web site and register. It will be an opportunity for community input, as we look out over the next several years and beyond, that could expand our present scientific reach and take the LCLS in new scientific directions
