Motivation

This series of 10 in-person workshops will launch the process of identifying the next set of beamlines to be designed and built at NSLS-II in the context of the NEXT-III project and a possible NSLS-II upgrade. The goal of the workshops will be to identify today's grand scientific challenges, review the ability of the current NSLS-II beamlines to address these challenges, and to develop concepts for world-leading capabilities and novel approaches to fill the identified gaps.
