Workshop on scientific applications of coherent x-rays

This is a report on a workshop held at SLAC on February 12, 1994 to assess the science that would become possible using high peak power, short pulses of coherent radiation from a Free Electron Laser (FEL) operating in the hard x-ray region, at wavelengths down to about 1 {angstrom}. Sixty-three people participated in the workshop. The appendices to this report give a list of participants, the workshop agenda, and the charge to the workshop. Material describing the performance parameters of several possible sources was made available to the participants along with a graph showing the spectral distribution of the spontaneous as well as the coherent radiation and a note on peak power issues. This material is also included as an appendix to this report. This report consists of an Executive Summary, brief summaries by the speaker for each of the talks that were given, and copies of some of the viewgraphs that were shown. Also included are important points raised in the discussions that followed each talk. In addition, two contributions from scientists who could not attend the workshop are included, plus one contribution received from a participant after the workshop. A serious storm on the East coast made it impossible for three speakers and several intended participants to reach Stanford. The talk by Janos Kirz was presented by Malcolm Howells using viewgraphs sent by FAX. The talks by Keith Nelson and Brian Stephenson were not given. We include summaries by them of the talks they would have given, plus copies of some of their viewgraphs, in this report.
