Description

The Imperial College Laboratory for Ultrafast X-ray Diffraction (LUXD), The Extreme Photonics Applications Centre (EPAC) and The Relativistic Ultrafast Electron Diffraction and Imaging facility (RUEDI) are currently in the various stages of design, building and commissioning and will provide complementary capabilities for ultrafast diffraction studies of structural dynamics in the UK.

LUXD, EPAC and RUEDI are jointly organising a one-day workshop to engage with the UK community working in the area of ultrafast diffraction. The aim of the workshop is to present these new facilities to the UK community and discuss their capabilities, to identify technical requirements and scientific applications, to stimulate collaboration and develop the future user communities.
