Workshop/Conference

SQS workshop 2008: International workshop on the science with and the instrumentation for Small Quantum Systems at the European XFEL

Date: 29-31 October 2008

Location: Aarhus, Denmark

The study of small quantum systems (SQS) of atomic, molecular, cluster, or crystalline character in gas phase experiments is one of the prioritized areas of science for the upcoming European XFEL facility as described in the Technical Design Report and includes studies of extremely dilute systems, of particles in traps, of non-linear processes using one- and two-colour techniques and of ultrafast processes.

The workshop brought together scientists interested in experiments using the SQS instrumentation at the European XFEL facility both to review the science planned with this instrumentation, to discuss the requirements to the X-ray FEL beam delivery, and to initiate activities and collaborations on instrumentation and facilities needed at its photon endstations.
