Call for
Papers
The goal of this conference is to provide an up-to-date coverage of software and algorithms for designing, optimizing and upgrading the optics of x-ray instruments. It aims to bring together engineers and scientists developing x-ray optical software and users of these codes for the design and optimization of x-ray optics from different fields: synchrotron radiation, astrophysics and plasma physics.

Papers are solicited on the following and related topics:
  • simulation methods (ray tracing, wavefront propagation, phase space tracking, etc...
  • partially coherent x-ray beam propagation: theory and simulations
  • simulation of modern x-ray sources (low-emittance synchrotrons, XFEL, x-ray tubes, plasmas)
  • reflective optics (mirrors, capillaries, poly-capillaries, micropore and lobster-eye optics)
  • refractive optics (single and compound lenses)
  • diffractive optics (gratings, multilayers, crystals, zone plates)
  • micro- and nano-focusing optics
  • numerical methods in dynamical diffraction theory (perfect, curved and deformed crystals, mosaic crystals, time-dependent diffraction)
  • modeling surface imperfections (figure and slope errors, roughness) and thermal deformation
  • methods in metrology (e.g., calculation and match of PSD from different apparatus) and usage of metrology data in optics calculations
  • transformation of beam characteristics (polarization, time-dependence, coherence) by optical elements
  • simulations and optimization of complete instruments
  • simulation of experiments with x-rays and experimental data processing
  • frameworks for start-to-end x-ray optical simulations
  • databases: optical constants, metrology data
  • methods to deal with intensive calculations, parallel computing using CPU and GPU.
