[High-pressure-crystallography] 4th DyCoMaX workshop 12-14 march 2024 - 1st announcement

[Raffaella TORCHIO]

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce 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).

In the recent years, the coupling of powerful lasers or other 
shock-generating devices to brilliant X-rays probes has opened new 
exciting opportunities for extreme conditions science.

The aim of the workshop is to gather scientists - both from the static 
and dynamic extreme conditions communities - to discuss recent results 
and new scientific 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.

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

*News compared to the previous editions*:

the 4^th DyCoMaX will be open to *abstract submission*, moreover, a 
*training session* for 10 selected young scientists will take place on 
the 14^th afternoon.

The webpage of the workshop will be soon available.

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
