Workshop on Theory of X-Ray Spectroscopies
6-7th October 2025 | Lighthouse Visitor Centre, European XFEL, Schenefeld, Germany
Over the last 15-20 years we have witnessed major breakthroughs in X-ray spectroscopies with the increased exploration of X-ray spectrometers and applications in the ultrafast regime (< 100 fs). Pump-probe conventional XAS and XES experiments in the hard X-ray regime are now routine at XFELs.
Thanks to the high repetition rate of European XFEL and a large suite of high-resolution spectrometers available at FXE more advanced X-ray spectroscopies (e.g., VtC-XES, RXES) have become a reality. These new techniques combined with a constant improvement in data quality and the increased complexity of the science cases have led to challenges in simulating and interpreting the data.
In this workshop a diverse group of researchers, including experimentalists and theory/computational scientists will gather to discuss the existing methodologies, challenges and limitations in simulating different X-ray spectroscopy data in view of ultrafast dynamics. This workshop will also address future directions in the theory of X-ray spectroscopy.
Registration until 30th September 2025
Registration is free of charge for all participants.
