X-UV Time Resolved Advanced Methods
XTRAM is the first edition of EUSPEC workshop and school with a strong focus on highly advanced spectroscopies and their direct comprehension by the most developed theoretical computational and ab-initio means. An average of 40– 60 attendees and a duration of 4 days taking place in Erice at the Ettore Majorana Foundation.
Aim of the event
The COST action EUSPEC (http:\\www.euspec.eu) has one main mission: to disseminate and promote the strong advancements in the field of modern quantum mechanics to quantitatively describe atomic and condensed matter spectroscopies. Many important developments during the last two decades allow a more and more improved treatment e.g. for nano-systems, oxides or organic solids.
Another important example is the demanding description of time-resolved spectroscopy experiments. In this last case a still pioneering approach is necessary because of the lack of a fully comprehensive theory able to give a one-for-all solution to the challenging problems under study because of the intertwining of the expectation values of the physical observables essentially in non-equilibrium condition of matter. It is nevertheless difficult to ignore that in these fields there will be the most appealing advancements of the science from the smallest scale to the largest scale problems like in geophysical or astrophysical science.
In Erice novel theoretical and computational approaches will meet the cutting edge frontier of the new experiments with advanced light sources.
Topics:
Non-equilibrium density functional theory and many body approaches.
Ultrafast excitation and relaxation in the gas phase.
Electronic and vibrational dynamics of nanoparticles and clusters.
Dynamics of biological systems and interfaces
Warm dense matter and transient disordered states
ultrafast excitation regime and population transfer in solids.
Novel experimental implementation for ultrafast spectroscopies.
