MissionHigh brightness electron beams are playing an increasingly critical role in twofrontier fields that are now yielding results that provoke considerableexcitement and activity across the scientific community: radiation generationmethods and advanced acceleration schemes. Such cutting edge radiationproduction methods include variations on the revolutionary 4th generationdevice, the free-electron laser, as well as inverse Compton scattering ofintense lasers. These diverse approaches are thus able to create high peakand high average power light sources, with applications in ultrafast sciencesand the Å level, as well as in nuclear and high-energy physics. Likewise, highbrightness beams are at the center of many future accelerator schemes, e.g.based on high gradient electron and laser wakefields. Indeed, laserwakefield accelerators are now entering the proof-of-application phase,where unique light sources based on advanced acceleration schemes areenabled. The goal of this workshop is to provide a comparative study of thegeneration, manipulating, modeling and measuring of high brightnesselectron beams, and the multitude of underlying, interdisciplinary methodslinking the physics of these beam systems to the physics of advancedapplications.
