Future Prospects for Macromolecular Dynamics
on 4th Generation Light
Sources
26th-27th January 2007
Park Royal Hotel, Stretton,
Cheshire
Meeting Report
It is anticipated
that macromolecular dynamics will be a major area of research on 4GLS,
and the object of the meeting was to enable the potential UK user community
to hear about the latest developments in the field. Around 50 delegates
gathered to hear talks from international speakers on this exciting
and growing area of science. The speakers presented the current state-of –the-art
research on macromolecular dynamics using a number of techniques, including
polarization methods, resonance raman, infrared, optical absorption,
and 2D spectroscopy. Delegates
were interested to hear about what is achievable with existing sources,
and excited to learn of the new opportunities that will be opened up
when 4GLS becomes available. The meeting ended with a lively and wide-ranging
discussion on the opportunities and challenges that 4GLS will offer
for macromolecular dynamics experiments. It is hoped that many of the
delegates will be returning to Daresbury to do exciting science on ERLP
and 4GLS in the future. As a follow up to the meeting, delegates were
asked to comment about where they expect the science to develop over
the next few years, and give their requirements for 4GLS sources and
associated facilities. These comments will be available on the 4GLS website soon.

ESF FALS Network Meeting
information & programme »
The third meeting of the European Science Foundation Network on Future Advanced Light Sources (FALS) will take place March 30th/31st 2006 at Daresbury Laboratory, UK.
This is an interdisciplinary meeting aimed at researchers from the synchrotron, the FEL and the laser communities. It aims to foster the cross-fertilisation of ideas and techniques between disciplines and to highlight future scientific advances that may arise from developments in instrumentation and photon sources. Further information on the FALS network and aims can be found at www.esf.org/fals
USER CONSULTATION ON 4GLS TECHNICAL DESIGN
(report from meeting 4th July 2005)
Following the release of funding for 4GLS technical design studies in Spring
2005, a number of user consultations concerning the design parameters of 4GLS
have taken place including a major user
consultation meeting held at Daresbury
Laboratory on the 4th July 2005. An audience of around 190 scientists and research
council representatives enjoyed presentations from four international speakers
(Professors Zhi-Xun Shen (Stanford University, USA), Kioshi Ueda (Tohoku University,
Japan), Anders Nilsson (Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory, USA), Majed
Chergui (EPFL, Lausanne Switzerland) who gave their visions of the type of science
to be enabled by 4GLS.
