The ELIXIR2026 workshop will take place at SOLEIL from March 9 to 11, 2026.
The development of vacuum-compatible liquid sampling sources has enabled the use of ionizing radiation sources (XUV and X-rays) to study a variety of phenomena in solution, such as reaction dynamics, solvation, or interfacial chemistry. This development is constantly evolving with improvements in light sources, such as the relative democratization of laser sources based on high-order harmonic generation, and improvements in liquid targets with for instance the recent development of stable flat liquid jets with sub-micrometer thicknesses.
The spectroscopic tools available are now extremely varied and reflect the diversity of the scientific communities interested in the study of liquid-phase phenomena at the molecular scale. They include time-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (femtosecond and even attosecond), highly nonlinear optics via liquid-phase HHG, probes of chirality (circular X-ray dichroism, PECD), RIXS, coincidence measurements (e-,e-), etc.
This workshop will bring together users of these different tools. It will also provide an opportunity to compare and improve theoretical aspects of molecular dynamics in the liquid phase, thanks to the participation, we hope, of European experts in the field.
