Overview of Research Group, Goals and Purposes:
XFEL Research Group aims to promote XFEL science at SACLA through effective interactions among members. The Group also serves as a bridge between the user community and the SACLA facility for discussing the direction of research and development at SACLA. These activities will enhance SACLA activity and usability, and acquire new users. The XFEL Research Group is constituted of SPRUC members who have used or are interested in using SACLA for their research. Most members are former members of the SACLA User Community (SACLA UC), which was established in 2013. The SACLA UC made a great contribution to the establishment of XFEL science at SACLA in the early phase of the facility. Since SACLA entered a new operation phase, in which academic and industrial applications are expanding, it became a major task of SACLA UC to acquire new users and explore advanced research fields using XFELs. The XFEL Research Group was established in 2019 to take over the activities of SACLA UC to promote interactions with the members of SPRUC. The Group will continue its activities in the 7th Term.
