The goal of this workshop is to provide an opportunity to discuss the generation, manipulation, modeling and experimental characterization of high brightness electron beams, and the underlying methods linking the physics of these beam systems to the physics of electromagnetic radiation generation from relativistic electron beams interacting with lasers and/or plasmas, and to the physics of advanced methods of acceleration.
Areas to be covered at the workshop include:

A. New theoretical and experimental developments in photo-injectors: diamond layers for secondary electron generation, electron pulse self-shaping for the generation of sub-picosecond electron pulses, superconducting RF gun.

B. Generation of high brightness electron beams from laser-plasma sources: Status, development programs and future possibilities.

C. Longitudinal compression of high brightness electron beams: chicanes, inverse free-electron lasers, velocity bunching.

D. Diagnostics for high brightness, high peak current beams: approaching the femtosecond frontier. Coherent radiation-based measurements, and ultra-fast time-domain measurements (e.g. RF sweepers).

E. Theory and modeling

F. Applications
—Free-electron lasers, ERLs, inverse Compton scattering sources
—Linear colliders and related HEP
—Advanced accelerators (wakefield accelerators, laser accelerators)

Working groups
The working groups are related to the five areas defined above:
1. Sources, including photoinjectors and plasma-based sources
2. Manipulation and diagnosis of high brightness beams
3. Theory and modeling, simulation challengers
4. Applications of high brightness beams

The program committee is now finalizing the list of invited talks. Please refer back to this page soon for further information on these presentations, and on instructions for contributing papers.
