This annual event is a valuable opportunity to learn about the latest plans, new developments and exciting user research at LCLS and SSRL. It is also a great time to interact with other scientists, potential colleagues, and vendors of light source related products and services. Jens Norskov who recently joined SLAC and Stanford to lead a new initiative in catalysis and interfacial science will give the keynote talk on "Converting sunlight into fuels -- the role of interface catalysis"
Two workshops are planned for October 17:
- LCLS Data Analysis
- LCLS II Forum
On October 20, several concurrent workshops will be held:
- Frontiers in Biology with XFELs (Joint ALS/SSRL, October 20-21)
- Challenges in Image Processing in Tomographic Data Sets (Joint ALS/SSRL)
- High Energy Density Science
- AMO Science Opportunities and Instrumentation Needs
- SXR Science and Opportunities
- Developing Strategies, Preparing and Getting the Most from Macromolecular Crystallography
Encourage your colleagues, particularly students, to submit a poster to present their latest research results at the annual users conference. Students who submit an abstract for the Outstanding Student Poster Competition on October 18 receive a free dinner evening (immediately following the users' conference poster session) and are also eligible to compete for the $100 prizes to be awarded.
Reserve accommodations at the Guest House by 9/16/10 and specify SSRL/LCLS/SLAC to take advantage of discounted rates.
