Mission

The mission of the Future Light Sources (FLS) Subpanel of the ICFA Beam Dynamics Panel is to promote R&D on accelerator physics and technology for development of future light sources that will inherit the current third-generation light sources.  Our main activity is to organize various workshops.  The flagship event of the FLS subpanel is the Future Light Sources Workshop Series held every three years.  In addition, the subpanel supports other topical ICFA beam dynamics workshops and mini-workshops relevant to the development of future light sources.
