Opportunities and Challenges for Momentum-Resolved Inelastic X-Ray Scattering
Inelastic x-ray scattering is emerging as a powerful probe of collective dynamics in condensed matter systems. Progress over the last decade has made it possible to study lattice dynamics with millivolt resolution with this technique. This planned 1.5 day workshop is aimed at exploring the scientific opportunities, theoretical developments and technical challenges in studying momentum-resolved valence charge dynamics with millivolt resolution at the current synchrotron sources as well as the future FEL-based sources at the soft X-ray regime. The goal is to converge on a few potentially high-impact research and technical R&D directions and design an optimal facility to carry out the science.
