S17.00002: Robert R. Wilson Prize: The Quest for Bright, Coherent X-Rays: A Personal Story Invited Speaker: Kwang Je Kim Stories associated with the advances in x-ray source techniques during the last several decades will be told from a personal viewpoint.~ I will start from the ``third-generation'' x-ray sources based on storage-ring-based undulators and a struggle to find a proper way to quantify the radiation strength. I will then discuss how the initially incoherent undulator radiation evolves into an intense-quasi-coherent radiation via free-electron laser (FEL) interaction. This so-called self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) in the x-ray region could be realized with the advent of laser-induced electron guns and forms the basis of the linac-driven ``fourth generation'' x-ray facilities. An x-ray FEL oscillator (XFELO) will also be feasible if Bragg reflectors, such as diamond crystals, are used as cavity mirrors. An XFELO driven by a CW superconducting linac would be a ``real x-ray laser,'' producing a steady stream of fully coherent, spectrally pure x-ray pulses. An XFELO can be mode-locked, thus producing x-ray spectral comb, if the cavity length can be fixed to a fraction of the x-ray wavelength by referencing to a narrow nuclear resonance. A mode-locked XFELO will enable x-ray quantum optics experiments, such as matter-wave interferometry, for fundamental physics. Alongside these main themes, stories for novel and ``cute'' schemes, such as a crossed undulator for polarization switching and an emittance exchanger for swapping the transverse and longitudinal phase space, will also be presented.

S17.00003: The ``Big-Bang'' Process for the Division of Physics of Beams Invited Speaker: Stan Schriber The Division of Physics of Beams had an interesting creation: starting with inflation, a quite period, and then formations - recognizable events when viewed back in time, interesting ``stars'' and now in a state where expansion of surrounding events is having impacts.
