Friday, August 9
SLAC’s Berryessa conference room, Bldg. 53 - 2002
| Start Time | Title |
| 08:30 am |
Panel discussion - "questions towards theory and plasma physics": Which are the open questions about e+e- plasmas, SFQED calculations, especially related to non-perturbative effects, how well are simulations connect to the calculations, next questions to be answered? Panel members: Gereld Dunne, Anton Ilderton, Sebastian Meuren, Luis O. Silva |
| 10:00 am | Coffee |
| 10:15 am |
Panel discussion - "questions towards high-energy physics applications": What do we need to know to propose a gamma-gamma collider for a Higgs factory, how do we justify the strong-field physics that makes that possible, to what extend will scheduled experiments test that this physics is correct, is there a gap and what further experiments are needed to bridge it? Panel members: Claudio Pellegrini, Michael Peskin, Alexander Thomas, Vitaly Yakimenko |
