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 as a topic for long-term collaboration and development. The high coherent flux provided by fourth generation synchrotrons had 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 sponsored by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskaprådet, www.vr.se)
