The goal of the workshop is to gather a broad international community of users in the field of gas phase molecular spectroscopy, from the THz to the VUV range, around the French Synchrotron SOLEIL. It will emphasize the needs and potential collective actions related to this cross-disciplinary field with applications in astrophysics, astrochemistry, biology and atmospheric photodynamics. In particular, several talks and discussions will be centred on recent experimental developments and striking results obtained on the THz AILES and VUV DESIRS beamlines of SOLEIL, as well as on the synchrotron facilities BESSY (Berlin), Swiss Light Source (Villigen, Switzerland) and the Canadian Light Source (Saskatoon, Canada). Another part of the workshop will be dedicated to laboratory sources complementary to synchrotron sources so that a broad panel of spectroscopic tools is presented. Finally, theoretical and analytical methods for interpreting dense and complex spectra will also be presented.

Our aim is to provide the spectroscopy community with a better knowledge of the possible new experimental and theoretical developments around synchrotron and laboratory sources.

Even though the workshop is organized by the French research network “Spectroscopie moléculaire” (GdR SpecMo) and the French synchrotron SOLEIL, we want to enlarge its scope to the international community. Therefore, the workshop language will be English. We also would like to encourage the participation of young scientists.
