New Light Source Project
aiming for unique studies of microscopic motions in matter of all kinds
New Light Source Community Meeting
Friday 24th April 2009
The Royal Society Carlton House Terrace, London
The New Light Source (NLS) project is developing a proposal for a facility, based on free electron and advanced conventional lasers, that will provide a unique capability for probing the structure and motion within matter.
This meeting is intended to update the wider scientific community on NLS and to give them the opportunity to hear how the science case and the facility conceptual design have emerged from last year’s consultation. There will be breakout sessions for discussion and feedback on how the proposed machine enables the science case and to identify additional scientific opportunities for NLS.
