The programme of the DESY Research Course 2019 “Trends in Modern Photon Science” covered the research activities of different new photon science research acitivities on the campus in Hamburg-Bahrenfeld. More than 100 participants attended this year's course from 27 February to 1 March. It was the 18th research course at DESY of a series initiated in the year 2001.
The aim of this research course series is to provide young and future researchers with the fundamental knowledge about new methods of X-ray research. This year's course “Trends in Modern Photon Science” comprised ten lectures covering FEL science (e.g. ultrafast electron dynamics, chemical research, non-linear photon-matter Interaction), attosecond science, quantum gas science (e.g. floquet engineering in optical lattices), lasing schemes (following inner-shell X-ray excitation) and forefront X-ray optics. Moreover the scientific programme was complemented by a poster session for all participants, including a prize for the best three posters.
The next DESY Research Course will take place in spring 2020 (Feb./March) .
