Context 

In the last two decades, the X-ray view of our Universe has been transformed by the two large imaging telescopes Chandra X-ray Observatory, XMM-Newton or for surveys with eROSITA. In addition, microcalorimeter-equipped telescopes are now a reality with XRISM and the upcoming NewAthena satellite.

With 25 years of  X-ray archives, all-sky surveys and unprecedented high spectral resolution observations from microcalorimeters, X-ray data have never been more scientifically rich, but also more complex to analyze. Despite this huge improvement in data quality and quantity, the development of the analysis methods has stalled in the last decades and current methods cannot fully exploit the wealth of information encoded in these rich datasets.

Goals

This workshop aims at gathering experts across the high-energy astrophysics community to define a new generation of analysis tools (time domain, spectral or hyperspectral) using advanced algorithms to maximize the scientific return of our complex X-ray datasets.  The goals of this meeting is to present the limitations of existing tools and have an overview of the ongoing efforts and methods available towards a new generation of X-ray analysis tools.

The workshop will be organized around invited talks, contributed talks, tutorials and discussion/work sessions.

Ample time will be given for discussion and group work on specific projects.
