PhotonDiag2015 - Workshop on FEL Photon Diagnostics, Instrumentation, and Beamlines Design - ICTP, Leonardo Building, Budinich Lecture Hall - 8 - 10 June 2015

8 Jun 2015, 08:00 → 10 Jun 2015, 18:00 Europe/Berlin

ICTP, Trieste, Italy

Elke Plönjes (DESY), Marco Zangrando (Laboratorio TASC INFM-CNR and Sincrotrone Trieste)

This 2nd FELs of Europe workshop on FEL Photon Diagnostics, Instrumentation, and Beamlines Design will be held in Trieste from 8-10 June 201 at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP).

The workshop is a follow-up of the first one organised in 2010 at DESY, Hamburg (PhotonDiag2010), and the second in a planned biannual series.

It will focus on the these topics:

• Photon beam diagnostic techniques - measuring key properties of the FEL photon beam
• Time-related beam properties - temporal characterisation of electron, FEL, and laser beams
• FEL optics - challenges for ultra-short and ultra-intense pulses
• Photon beam transport - preserving the special properties of the FEL pulse
• Science instruments - meeting the special demands of experiments on FEL sources
• Detectors & data handling for FEL-based experiments - designs, challenges & perspectives
