Dear all,
We are delighted to invite you to the SHINE Forum 2025, taking place on July 17–18 at ShanghaiTech University in Shanghai, China.
The SHINE (Shanghai HIgh repetitioN rate XFEL and Extreme light facility), which is a high rep-rate XFEL facility including an 8 GeV CW superconducting RF Linac, 2 undulator lines, soft- and hard- X-ray beamlines and 6 experimental stations, together with a 50-100 PW Ultra-Intense Ultra-Short laser, will be one of the most advanced user facilities that can deliver femtosecond X-ray pulses with up to a million pulses per second.
The civil construction started in April of 2018. The injector was commissioned last year with 100 MeV electron beam and major design specifications had been achieved. More than 20 cryomodules are developed or under development and will be ready for beam commissioning by the end of 2025. FEL-II Beamline and endstation branch installation is underway. The first light to the first end-station is scheduled at early 2026. The world first 100 PW-class laser facility is under construction，and the experimental chamber for the colliding of 100PW laser and XFEL has been installed.
The SHINE Forum is an annual platform to discuss advances and challenges in FEL science and technology, foster international collaboration, and prepare for first user experiments. The 2025 forum will include 12 plenary lectures from leading experts at major FEL and light source facilities, and several parallel sessions on scientific applications of XFEL and technologies respectively.
We look forward to welcoming you in Shanghai for this exciting and forward-looking event.
Sincerely
ShanghaiTech University
