2019 Workshop on

Exploring New Science Frontiers at NSLS-II

Motivation

This workshop will launch the process of identifying the next wave of beamlines at the DOE light source NSLS-II. The goals of this workshop will be to identify the current grand scientific challenges, review the ability of the current suite of NSLS-II beamlines to address these challenges, and develop concepts for world-leading capabilities and novel approaches to fill the identified gaps.

The breakout sessions on Day 2 will include an open discussion session during which five-minute 'soundbite' presentations are encouraged. To contribute such a soundbite, please email a title and abstract, including your name and affiliation and the breakout session name, to newscience2019@bnl.gov  by October 7, 2019.
