DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Claudio Emma (SLAC)\, David Reis (SLAC)\, Uta Ruett 
 (SLAC)\n\n\nThe next-generation x-ray source LCLS-II-HE will deliver unpre
 cedented capabilities as an 8 GeV superconducting XFEL\, covering photon e
 nergies from 250 eV to 13 keV at repetition rates up to 1 MHz. In parallel
 \, an integration of the existing copper-based XFEL with the FACET test fa
 cility could become a 2 km accelerator producing 30 GeV electron beams at 
 up to 360 Hz. This development would extend XFEL photon energies to the 1
 –50 keV range\, pushing well beyond current state-of-the-art limits.\nTh
 is workshop will explore the transformative scientific opportunities enabl
 ed by these advances. By combining high photon energies—offering deep pe
 netration and access to large regions of reciprocal space—with full beam
  coherence\, extreme brightness\, and ultrafast (1-100 fs) single-shot cap
 abilities\, entirely new experimental regimes become accessible. These inc
 lude probing dynamics in industrially relevant materials\, resolving burie
 d functional interfaces\, and observing processes within realistic devices
 . Such capabilities open new pathways for studying disordered and complex 
 systems whose structure and evolution remain largely inaccessible with con
 ventional hard x-ray techniques.\n\nhttps://indico.slac.stanford.edu/event
