Workshop Discussion Leaders and Organizers -- Front Row: Dave Litster, Simon Mochrie, Nitash Balsara, Chi-Chang Kao, Lin Yang; Second Row: Janos Kirz, Sol Gruner, Stephen Cheng, Ben Chu, Timothy Lodge; Third Row: Ben Ocko, Noel Clark, Richard Register; Back Row: Mathias Lösche, Ron Pindak, Christian Burger, Paul Heiney; Missing from photo: Robert Austin, Ben Hsaio, Ian Robinson, Helmut Strey

1) What are the key scientific drivers?Polymers, energy, molecular electronics, bones, nanocomposites, liquid crystals, colloids,

thin organic films, biomineralization, complex fluids.What experiments will NSLS-II enable that are not presently possible?USAXS (from the speckle pattern) & MicroSAXS better XPCS, 2) What technical capabilities will these require? (Beamlines, endstations,

undulators…)Small spot sizes, 50-3000 ev spectroscopy beamlines, 3) Estimate of community size. 500 users, would like to grow (requires user friendly operation)4) What detector requirements does this field have? Do these require R+D?YESArea detectors, faster, wider range of simultaneous q.5) What software and computing infrastructure requirements are there?Standardized analysis for SAXS and XPCS6) Any particular accelerator requirements? NO7) Any particular conventional facility requirements? Adequate chemistrylabs near the beamlines and hutch ventilation.
