The development of ultrafast optical laser systems has revolutionized the study of many problems in the biological, chemical, and physical sciences. The advent of ultrafast x-ray sources offers the possibility for extending optical studies to include x-ray techniques such as x-ray absorption spectroscopy (to give local chemical and magnetic information) and x-ray diffraction (to give structural information), with time resolution to well below 100 fsec. This workshop aimed to bring together the existing ultrafast optical community and the emerging ultrafast x-ray community in order to define scientific highlights and directions for the use of the x-ray techniques, to promote cross fertilization of ideas between the two communities, and to define the source characteristics required for particular classes of experiment. The time regime from 50 psec to a few 10’s of fsec was the core area for this workshop.
