Compact EUV & X-Ray Light Sources (EUVXRAY)
Events
Compact EUV & X-Ray Light Sources (EUVXRAY)
12 April 2024 – 14 April 2024 | Hotel Savoyen Vienna, Vienna, Austria
Emerging, compact extreme-ultraviolet and x-ray sources that exhibit high brightness and are small enough to be installed in laboratories at educational and research institutions, manufacturing facilities, hospitals and other suitable sites, will revolutionize scientific and technical disciplines, complementing both existing and future large scale synchrotron radiation and free-electron laser sources.
Applications span a wide range including biomedical, semiconductor manufacturing, fundamental and applied research, environmental engineering, industrial non-destructive testing and screening and defense and security.
The aim of the Compact EUV & X-Ray Light Sources Topical Meeting (EUVXRAY) is to assemble experts in both source technologies and their applications to present and exchange ideas and improve community wide understanding of current and future source capabilities and current and future application needs. The latest results in the development of these sources are presented as well as descriptions of efforts to mature the technology so they meet the requirements needed in order to transition the technology to industrial and medical applications. Topics include the latest development in source technologies and applications in the EUV through hard-ray regime.
The co-location with the High-Intensity Sources and High-Field Phenomena (HILAS) and Mid-infrared Coherent Sources (MCS) Topical Meetings provides a unique opportunity to expand interaction with multidisciplinary groups that share a broad range of interests and goals.

ELI ERIC
Lighting the Way: Advances at ELI and Beyond
This talk will present recent advancements at the ELI Facilities since the beginning of the ELI User Programme in 2022. This includes primary laser systems and secondary sources serving various research fields, encompassing not only a broad range of physics, but also chemistry, biology and materials science. We will discuss the performance of this new generation of sources at ELI’s facilities, how they are providing unprecedented tools to tackle these challenges and new, disruptive technologies. Furthermore, the talk will venture into the future, outlining the visionary paths that laser and light source technology are set to embark upon. This includes an overview of the expected technical achievements in the next 24 months, as informed by contributions from various ELI facilities and partner facilities. These advances promise to further elevate our collective capability to probe the mysteries of the universe, from the smallest particles to the grandest cosmic phenomena.

Student Paper Award
The Optica Foundation Student Paper Competition
The congress recognizes the next generation of scientists through a student presentation competition. To qualify for an award, the paper must have been presented by an undergraduate or graduate student of an educational institution of collegiate grade.
The papers submitted to the competition were reviewed during the standard Technical Program Committee (TPC) review process and up to 4 finalists were selected. After the papers are presented, the Program Committee members will make their selections based on content quality, value to the technical community of interest and the students' presentation skills.
