13:30 Welcome

Speaker: Beate Heinemann (DESY and University of Freiburg (Germany))

13:40 SF-QED Theory Overview

This talk should give an overview on the current status of SF-QED, highlighting in particular open questions to be clarified by experiments, applications of SF-QED and their relevant parameter space, the role of precision as well as the role of polarisation-dependent effects.

Speaker: Tom Blackburn (University of Gothenburg)

This talk should review experimental opportunities for SF-QED experiments at the Eu.XFEL with particular regard to the experimental environment, the beam properties, their control and stability and timelines.

Speaker: Thomas Feurer (Eu.XFEL)

14:45 Plasma acceleration facilities and opportunities at DESY

This talk should review experimental opportunities for SF-QED experiments with plasma accelerators and lasers at DESY, with particular regard to the experimental environment, the beam properties, their control and stability and timelines.

Speaker: Wim Leemans (M (Beschleuniger))

17:30 Final Discusssion on coherent approach / grant application(s)

Chaired by Ties Behnke
Suggested lead questions:
- How are the LUPE and LUXE scientific goals complementary / synergistic?
- What are the challenges for high-rate precision measurements with plasma mirrors?
- What are common interests in detectors, laser and beam diagnostics?
