"New trends in gas phase VUV/
soft X-ray high resolution spectroscopies at SOLEIL"
 
21st & 22nd March 2005
Université Paris-Sud (Orsay, France)
Amphithéâtre "Pierre Lehmann" - LAL, Bât. 200

SOLEIL, the new French synchrotron radiation facility, will provide the diluted phase scientific community with the most advanced (brilliant, variably polarized and highly monochromatic) tunable light sources in the VUV (DESIRS beamline: 5 - 40 eV) and soft X-ray (PLEIADES beamline: 35 - 1000 eV) ranges, respectively. These two beamlines will be mostly devoted to high resolution absorption, fluorescence, electronic and ionic spectroscopies. They will be equipped with permanent end-stations and newly designed high resolution spectrometers (e.g. Fourier Transform absorption set-up, electron and ion spectrometers possibly operated in coincidence modes) available to the users. The expected ultra-high resolving powers, resulting from new conceptual developments of the sources (100000 to 200000 in the VUV and 15000 to 55000 in the soft X-rays) as well as the electron and photon spectrometers (500 000 at 20 eV in absorption with the FT spectrometer) clearly offer new opportunities in valence and inner-shell high resolution spectroscopies.

The scope of the workshop is to update the scientific cases of the two beamlines and to structure the potential user community by exploring the present and future topics of research in spectroscopies and photon-induced dynamics (excitation and decay) of atoms, molecules, radicals, ions and clusters. Issues of interest for astrophysics, atmospheric photochemistry, plasma physics and metrology will be addressed. The links between high spectral resolution studies in the diluted and condensed matter (surfaces, solids) will also be investigated. Emphasis will be given to recent theoretical developments for the interpretation of high resolution measurements.

The two day workshop intends to gather a wide and diversified audience around several sessions consisting in invited and contributed oral presentations as well as a poster session for which we are calling for abstracts (see below).

On line Abstract submission form (deadline extended till February 6th)
There will be a poster session on Monday 21st evening, for which we are calling for abstracts. A few abstracts will be selected for a short oral presentation instead of a poster presentation. Please specify on the registration form whether you want to submit a contribution or not.

In all cases, the deadline for submitting an abstract is January 31st 2005.

Please use the following template (MS-Word) for editing your abstract and, if possible, please label your abstract in the following way: HR-2005_Last name.doc (or .rtf)
