[High-pressure-crystallography] 3rd DyCoMaX workshop on Studies of Dynamically compressed Matter with X-rays

[Raffaella TORCHIO]

Dear colleagues

We are pleased to announce the 3rd Workshop on *Studies on Dynamically 
Compressed Matter with X-rays* to be held at the European Synchrotron 
(ESRF) in Grenoble July 7-9 2020 (lunch to lunch).

In the recent years shock-induced dynamic compression has witnessed a 
revolution thanks to the coupling of powerful lasers or other 
shock-generating devices to X-rays brilliant probes, opening new 
exciting opportunities for the scientific community.

The aim of the workshop is to gather scientists, both from the static 
and dynamic extreme conditions community, to discuss recent results and 
new scientific frontiers that can be explored thanks to this 
combination. This meeting is intended to inspire new projects and to 
offer opportunities for discussing future collaboration between workshop 
participants in particular in view of the opening of the *High Power 
Laser Facility *at the ESRF, coupling a nsec, 100J laser to 
time-resolved X-ray Absorption.

Time resolved X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray imaging (XRI) coupled to 
dynamic compression experiments at the ESRF will be covered as well and 
plans for a future extension of HPLF (HPLF-II) to other X-rays 
techniques – XRD, XRI and X-ray emission spectroscopy-will be presented.

The main topics are:

- Planetary science: structure, evolution, geodynamics of planets, space 
impacts
- Warm Dense Matter: equation of state and phase diagram
- Behaviour of matter under high strain rates, comparison to static 
compression
- Synthesis of new materials, new chemistry
- Ab initio simulations for matter under extreme conditions

Sevelin-Radiguet, Volodymyr Svitlyk, Alexander Rack, Michael Wulff
