MAX IV Laboratory, the Advanced Light Source (ALS), and NSLS-II follow up on the soft x-ray workshop of April 2023 (link) by hosting a new workshop on April 15-16 2026, to continue the collaboration and discussion on opportunities with coherent soft X-rays. Because of the workshop’s scale and format, participation is by invitation only.
The new workshop will highlight beams with Orbital Angular Momentum and X-ray coherence as a topic for long-term collaboration and development. The high coherent flux provided by fourth generation synchrotrons has lead to an increased interest in the soft x-ray OAM beams in recent years. Through this workshop, we aim to promote scientific discussion on the generation and application of these beams, and foster international collaboration.
This workshop is funded by Vetenskapsrådet, the Swedish Research Council (www.vr.se) and the Advanced Light Source (https://als.lbl.gov/),
VR the major science funding agency in Sweden and the agency that funds MAX IV Laboratory. The Advnced Light Source is funded by the US Department of Energy / Basic Energy Sciences (https://www.energy.gov/science/bes/basic-energy-sciences)
