SUMMARY:Extending the Energy Frontier by Surfing on Plasma Waves
DESCRIPTION:Featuring James Rosenzweig\, UCLA\nHosted by: Indara Suarez\nPo
	ster: http://physics.bu.edu/internal//files/download/Rosenzweig-poster.pdf\
	n\nPart of the Physics Department Colloquia Series.\n\nIn order to shrink f
	uture "big science" to manageable dimensions\, there has been a significant
	 scientific thrust in exploring new very high gradient acceleration techniq
	ues.  We examine the dramatic progress of this field\, where the limit on a
	cceleration rate has been extended by three orders of magnitude. We discuss
	 the challenges associated with creating a new generation of plasma acceler
	ators\, in which we encounter the intersection of high energy density physi
	cs\, femtosecond time scales\, and extreme demands on beam brightness. We p
	resent near future initiatives\, in which the plasma wave fields may exceed
	 a TV/m – permitting LHC energies in a university-lab scale footprint. In
	 such scenarios we may encounter new states of dense matter due to mutual f
	ocusing ion and electron beams. The impact of the physics issues applicatio
	n of these frontier methods to both high energy physics and X-ray free-elec
	tron lasers is discussed. Emerging experimental initiatives to explore fron
	tier physics in plasma acceleration at the SLAC FACET-II laboratory are des
	cribed.
