Generation and Use of Short X-ray Pulses at APS

The primary purpose of the Short-Pulse Workshop held on May 6, 2005, was to present preliminary results of accelerator and optics calculations leading to the production of short (~1 ps) x-ray pulses from the Advanced Photon Source (APS) storage ring. In addition to presentations pertaining to the generation of short pulses, of equal import and interest, the workshop also afforded an opportunity to summarize the science driving this project. National and international experts were invited to hear the presentations and provide critical comments regarding all aspects of the proposal.
