X-ray Science in the 21st Century

Coordinators: Lorenz Cederbaum, Chris H. Greene, Jianwei Miao, Robin Santra

X-ray Science in the 21st Century is the kick-off conference for the KITP program X-ray Frontiers (August 2, 2010 - September 10, 2010). For a description of the program, please visit the program's home page. The purpose of the conference is to inspire and focus the theory discussions during the weeks following the conference. The latest scientific applications made possible by x rays of 1) high intensity, 2) ultrashort pulse duration, and 3) full transverse coherence will be presented. Areas covered will include coherent diffraction imaging; x-ray multiphoton processes; optical strong-field physics; high-intensity radiation damage; dynamics in electronic many-body systems; and ultrafast chemical dynamics.

POSTER OPPORTUNITY: There is an opportunity for registered participants to present a poster at the conference. Please e-mail a poster title to the Conference Coordinator, Jocelyn Quick, if you are interested in presenting a poster, along with a Word document copy of the poster abstract, no pdfs.
DEADLINE: July 02, 2010.
