A particular emphasis will be placed on the development of theoretical predictions before beamtimes to ensure that the most efficient strategies are adopted before measurements. This meeting will discuss the potential to use high-quality calculations of dynamics and experimental observables (both spectroscopic and scattering) for gas, solution phase and solid-state experiments.
The meeting will also propose the creation of a forum to facilitate the connection between experimenters and theorists before the preparation of a proposal for an XFEL beamtime, permitting that vital calculations can be performed between beamtime acceptance and implementation (typically 6 months).
The meeting, jointly organized by members of the UK XFEL programme (https://xfel.ac.uk) and the EPSRC programme grants UPDICE (https://updiceproject.com) and COSMOS (https://cosmosproject.co.uk), will bring worldwide experimental and theoretical experts in processes at XFEL.
