[High-pressure-crystallography] 4th DyCoMaX workshop 12-14 march 2024 @ ESRF - webpage

[Raffaella TORCHIO]

Dear colleagues,

the webpage for the *4th Workshop on Studies on Dynamically Compressed 
Matter****with X-rays, *to be held at the European Synchrotron (ESRF) in 
Grenoble *March 12**^th **to 14**^th * (lunch to lunch), is now 
available here:

https://www.esrf.fr/home/events/conferences/2024/4th-dycomax-workshop.html

The registration and abstract submission pages will open soon.


The *DyCoMaX* workshop is dedicated to new scientific opportunities 
offered by the combination of dynamic compression, induced by powerful 
lasers or other shock-generating devices, with brilliant time-resolved 
X-ray probes. The aim of the workshop is to gather scientists - both 
from the static and dynamic extreme conditions communities - to discuss 
recent results and new  frontiers that can be explored thanks to this 
combination.

At the ESRF, dynamic compression has been developing around three time 
resolved techniques: X-ray Absorption on ID24, with the opening of the 
new *High Power Laser Facility*; X-ray Imaging on ID19 coupled with 
different dynamic compression devices (gas gun, laser, Hopkinson bar) 
and managed through a new community access mode, the *Shock BAG*;X-ray 
Diffraction on ID09 coupled to a newly installed 5J ns laser.

2023 has also seen the opening of another important facility in Europe: 
the DIPOLE laser is now in operation on the HED instrument at European 
XFEL, coupling different X-ray techniques to laser-induced dynamic 
compression.

*News compared to the previous editions*:

the 4^th DyCoMaX will be open to *abstract submission*, moreover, a 
*training session* for selected PhD students will take place on the 
14^th March afternoon.


The main topics of the workshop are:

- Planetary science: Structure, evolution, geodynamics of planets, space 
impacts

- Warm Dense Matter: experiments and modelling

- Behavior of matter under high strain rates

- Synthesis of new materials, new chemistry

- Synergy with static compression

- Ab initio simulations for matter under extreme conditions


With kind regards

The local organizing Committee:

Raffaella Torchio (chair), Jean-Alexis Hernandez, Nicolas 
Sévelin-Radiguet, Olivier Mathon, Mohamed Mezouar, Bratislav Lukic, 
Alexander Rack, Mikhail Kozhaev,Matteo Levantino, and Eva Jahn-Feppon
