Readership: Biologists, chemists and physicists using x-rays and synchrotron radiation. Accelerator physicists working on the development of high brightness electron beams. Accelerator and laser physicists working on free-electron lasers.

The workshop brought together scientists working on the development of x-ray free-electron lasers, and its applications. X-ray free-electron lasers produce high intensity, subpicosecond long, coherent, X-ray pulses, and will open a new frontier to study the structure of matter at the molecular and atomic levels. Some fields of interest are structural changes in chemical reactions, single biological molecule, warm plasmas, nanosystems.
