WavemiX 2026 is the annual international workshop on ultrafast EUV/X-ray science and the NEXT (COST Action CA22148) Annual Meeting. The 2026 edition will gather experimental and theoretical researchers working on- and with - free‑electron lasers (FELs) and high‑harmonic generation (HHG) sources to discuss the latest advances in non‑linear spectroscopies, attosecond physics, and ultrafast imaging.
We welcome contributions from academia, large‑scale facilities, and industry. Early‑career researchers are especially encouraged to participate.
The registration for the event is free of charge.
Scope & Topics
The workshop spans (but is not limited to):
- Generation and control of few‑femtosecond to attosecond pulses (FEL/HHG)
- XUV/X-ray non‑linear phenomena and spectroscopy (pump–probe, 2D, four‑wave mixing)
- Ultrafast electron dynamics in atoms, molecules, solids, and quantum materials
- Coherent diffractive imaging, ptychography, and ultrafast microscopy
- Beam transport, focusing, adaptive optics, structured beams
- Sources, diagnostics, and metrology (timing tools, waveform synthesis)
- Novel detection concepts, data analysis and theory/simulation
- Applications in chemistry, materials science, nanoscience, and bio‑systems
Organizers
This event is organized under the framework of COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) and the NEXT Action by Extreme Light infrastructure ERIC and Czech Technical University in Prague.
