Dear Colleagues,
Warm greetings! Hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy during this challenging time. Despite the difficulties, we believe there still have been exciting progress on various frontiers we care about. As we adapt to a new normal of work and life, we feel it is timely for the community to touch base again on many new developments on the proposed Steady-State Microbunching (SSMB) light source and related topics in the past several months.
Hence, we are planning to initiate a workshop on SSMB and related advanced light source topics in December 7th-9th. We envision this workshop to summarize the progress so far, the frontier SSMB designs, the present plan to move forward, as well as challenges and issues. The format of the workshop will be online. The workshop will most likely to span 3 consecutive days with 3 hours per day to allow time for talks, questions and free discussions.
The theme of this workshop will be “Steady State Micro-Bunching Light Source Online Workshop”. The topics may include but are not limited to the following:
- The physics and lattice design of Longitudinal Strong Focusing scheme for SSMB
- The progress of Reversible Seeding scheme for SSMB
- The proof of principal experiment of SSMB
- The laser technology and requirements in SSMB
There will be two or three presentations among each topics to show the progress and some key issue in SSMB light source. Discussions are also important part after each presentation.
We are very much looking forward to welcome you participating the workshop in December.
Sincerely,
Chuanxiang Tang, Alex Chao, Wenhui Huang and Renkai Li
