About UXSS 2020
UXSS 2020 is a five day program organized by Stanford University's PULSE Institute in collaboration with the
Center for Free-Electron Laser Science at DESY in Hamburg, Germany.
The goal of UXSS 2020 is to disseminate information and train students and post-docs on
new opportunities in ultrafast science, particularly using X-ray Free Electron Lasers.
Lectures will be presented by expert scientists in this exciting new field. The attendees
will be expected to participate in the discussions and will prepare a mock beamtime proposal
with input from the instrument scientist for the Linac Coherent Light Source.
Other than in previous years, we will hold UXSS 2020 completely remotely, due to the corona virus pandemic.
Registration is free of charge. Registration for full participants is now closed. However, for access to the lectures, you can still register (see below).
