International Workshop on Science with and Instrumentation for Ultra-fast Coherent Diffraction Imaging of Single Particles, Clusters and Bio-Molecules at the European XFEL

The study of structural properties of Single Particles, Clusters and Bio-Molecules (SPB) using coherent x-ray diffraction by particles in the gas phase is one of the prioritized areas of science for the upcoming European XFEL facility as described in the Technical Design Report (available under www.xfel.eu). These experiments will be relevant to several areas of science, reaching from materials and nano-sciences to biology. The workshop will bring together scientists interested in experiments using the SPB instrument at the European XFEL facility, to review the science planned with this instrument, to discuss the requirements to the x-ray FEL beam delivery, and to initiate activities and collaborations on instrumentation and data analysis to be implemented at this photon endstation. The workshop features a series of invited lectures giving an overview of scientific and instrumental ideas for the SPB instrument followed by working group sessions on specific instrumentation for the European XFEL facility.
