| PDF : Detailed Programs of Breakout Sessions |
| A1: High-resolution and high-accuracy femtosecond crystallography |
| Organizers: I. Inoue and K. Tono (SACLA) |
| This breakout session aims to discuss the capabilities of SACLA for high-resolution and high-accuracy femtosecond crystallography. In the initial part of the session, a beamline scientist informs participants about the current status of high photon-energy XFEL beam and detector options. Then, pioneering users present their recent activities on the high-resolution femtosecond crystallography. We welcome participants working on or interested in high-resolution structure determination with XFEL pulses. |
| A2: New perspectives using the coupling between high-power nanosecond laser and XFEL at SACLA |
| Organizers: B. Albertazzi (LULI) and K. Miyanishi (SACLA) |
| This breakout session aims to discuss developments that are already realized, planned, or envisioned on the experimental platform with a high-power nanosecond laser at SACLA. A beamline scientist will present recent progress and plans. Then, the representative users will share their propositions. Finally, participants will be strongly encouraged to provide feedback, suggestions, or recommendations in the round table discussion at the end of the session. |
| B1: Recent achievements and future perspectives in materials science at SACLA | Organizers: I. Matsuda, T. Suzuki (Univ. Tokyo), and Y. Kubota (SACLA) |
| In the field of materials science, a number of remarkable achievements have been produced with soft and hard XFELs at SACLA. The goal of this breakout session is to share the current status and to discuss future perspectives in this research field. As an introduction, beamline scientists will present the recent experimental development, such as a THz laser, a cryostat, and a coil system to produce ultrahigh magnetic fields at BL2/3, and equipment with a nanofocusing mirror to investigate nonlinear optics and magnetism at BL1. Then, some achievements will be presented by distinguished researchers from various fields followed by a discussion on prospects with participants. |
| B2: Nanofocusing XFEL: 100 nm- and 10 nm-focusing capabilities at SACLA |
| Organizers: K. Yamauchi (Osaka Univ.) and J. Yamada (SACLA) |
| The session aims to share the current status and prospects of nanofocusing optics at SACLA, especially nanofocusing mirror systems in BL3-EH4c/EH5. A SACLA scientist will report (i) recent activities for automatic alignment tuning of the nanofocusing mirrors via a grating-based wavefront sensing technique and (ii) introduce specifications of the newly developed sub-10 nm focusing system. Participants will be encouraged to provide feedback, inputs, and ideas to the facility in the round table discussion. |
