Presently, we witness a fast development of new light sources. Light
pulses of soft X-ray frequency and attosecond pulse length open the way to
"attosecond science". Light pulses of slightly longer duration but
frequency reaching into the 10 keV range are being realized at the new
X-ray free electron lasers. Finally, the next generation light sources
evolve synchrotron radiation into a tool to resolve microscopic dynamics in the
angstrom - sub-picosecond domain in space and time. Technologically, these
light sources have a different background, but the physical processes one
can initiate and monitor with them are growing together.
This workshop in connection with a summer school is intended
to bring together scientists extending our knowledge about processes in
nature with these new light sources in very different areas from
biology to material science with an emphasis on the basic physical
processes. At the same time we invite young scientists who want to become
involved in this research to participate, in particular in the summer
school. There will be also presentations by scientists reporting on the
progress in the construction of the different new light sources and
providing detailed information about the characteristica of the light
these sources will produce.
