I3-IA-SFS and I3-Laserlab Europe (represented by MAX-lab and Lund Laser Centre) will jointly organise a workshop with the aim of exploring new sources for particle beams and emerging concepts for short-wavelength radiation. Equally important will be to start the process of uniting forces from both accelerator science and laser science in this development.

We currently see an intensive development of new particle sources and sources for short wavelength radiation. The common factor in much of this development is the cooperation of laser science and accelerator science. We foresee that this development will increase in importance in the creation of future generations of sources: laser acceleration might replace traditional particle accelerators, Free Electron Lasers will rely on laser technology for stability and mode control, atto second physics will be developed in the laser field and ported to accelerators, new concepts for X-ray generation and much more. In Europe several accelerator sources are under development which all relies on lasers as integrated parts of their designs.

We intend to bring together fore front scientists from the two fields to exchange ideas of the direction of development. The I3-Laserlab Europe and the I3-IA-SFS are positioned in a way that a joint workshop can be extremely fruitful. Important aspects are to bridge the terminology and approaches from the two communities and to find new areas of common research with participation from both fields.
