VENUE: Ramanujan Lecture Hall, ICTS Bangalore
Particle
accelerators have been instrumental in unraveling some of the deep
questions related to matter at the fundamental level, the latest being
discovery of the Higgs Boson. The conventional accelerators, however,
have reached their limit in terms of size and energy, as acceleration
gradients in the state of art accelerators have reached the material
breakdown limit (~ MV/cm). A new principle of particle acceleration is
desirable at this juncture. A strong candidate for this is the plasma
wake field based acceleration (driven by lasers and/or particle beams).
This scheme provides a promise of about thousand fold increase in the
acceleration gradient (~ GV/cm). Furthermore, plasma being already a
broken down medium, does not get adversely effected by such huge
electric fields. This paves a way for building table top compact
accelerators for electron as well as ion beams which can make crucial
contributions to our fundamental understanding of matter and would have
applications in many areas such as medical, security, imaging etc.
This
program will cover a series of pedagogical lectures on the status and
future of this new technology. In addition, a focused program on
exploring collaborative activities on theoretical aspects of
laser-plasma interactions in general (partly supported by the UK-India
Newton-Bhabha funds) is also planned. Brain storming discussion sessions
to look into possible near and long term challenges in high energy
physics would be conducted. Other applications in the field of medical,
security and imaging would be discussed. Moreover, looking at the pace
of development in laser intensity, possibility of exploring new physics
such as radiation reaction effects, pair production etc., in laboratory
experiments would soon become a reality. Keeping these excitements in
view, a planned activity at national level will be explored.
