Chemistry Workshop Agenda​

Breakout Discussions

Discussions Topic GroupsBreakout Leaders
Fundamental AMO – dynamics in moleculesMarkus Guehr, Thorsten Weber
Photo-driven catalysis, charge-transfer, coord. chemistryKelly Gaffney, Jinghua Guo

LCLS-II will provide revolutionary opportunities for addressing Grand Challenge questions from understanding chemical transformations on a molecular level to understanding and controlling catalytic mechanisms in complex environments. These opportunities arise from the unprecedented combination of high-repetition rate, photon energy range, short pulse duration and high coherence of LCLS-II.

 

The LCLS-II Chemistry workshop aims to identify high-impact scientific questions that can be uniquely addressed with LCLS-II. Plenary presentations on the first day will address Grand Challenge topics in preparation for breakout sessions on the second day to discuss specific scientific and technical challenges.
