A series of workshops will be held in late August with the goal of refining the scientific drivers for the facility and translating the scientific needs into the technical performance requirements. Feedback from these workshops will provide important input for advancing the design of the facility.
Workshops are planned in the following areas
- Fundamental Atomic, Molecular, Optical Physics & Combustion Dynamics
Mon. Aug. 20 - Tues. Aug 21, 2012
- Physical Chemistry, Catalysis, & Photosynthesis
Thurs. Aug. 23 - Fri. Aug 24, 2012
- Quantum Materials, Magnetism & Spin Dynamics
Mon. Aug. 27 - Tues. Aug 28, 2012
- Materials & Bio-imaging at the Nanoscale
Thurs. Aug. 30 - Fri. Aug 31, 2012
Further information is available on the workshop website: https://sites.google.com/a/lbl.gov/ngls-science-workshops-2012/home
If you are interested in attending any or all of these workshops, please register on the Web site soon.
