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
