Ultrafast X-ray Summer School

June 20 - 23, 2022

About The Event

About UXSS 2022

UXSS 2022 is a four 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 2022 is to disseminate information and train students and post-docs in new opportunities in ultrafast science using X-ray Free Electron Lasers. Expert scientists will lecture on exciting scientific fields where XFEL sources are making an impact. Beyond the lectures, full participants will have the opportunity to participate in laboratory sessions, where they will learn how to analyze datasets recorded at XFEL facilities. Interested participants can also choose to bring research posters for a poster session during the close out dinner.
