SUMMARY:Speakers: Simon Knapen and Jens Osterhoff (LBNL) - Title: The physics of high energy plasma wakefield colliders.
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: September 17\, 2026 \nTime: 3:30- 4:30 pm [Note 3:30 start time]  \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 (Hybrid)   \nSpeaker: Simon Knapen and Jens Osterhoff (LBNL) \nTitle: The physics of high energy plasma wakefield colliders. \nAbstract: We report on a joint Physics–ATAP study on the requirements for future plasma wakefield colliders. A central element of the study is detailed particle-in-cell modeling of the beam–beam interaction\, which characterizes beamstrahlung\, disruption\, pair production\, and the luminosity spectrum under the extreme beam parameters. These results feed directly into progress on detector concepts capable of operating in the resulting backgrounds. We will also summarize the developing physics case that sets the energy and luminosity targets. Because positron acceleration in plasma remains the a severe open problem\, we study e⁻e⁻\, γγ\, and e⁺e⁻ options on equal footing. \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09 \nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\n\nPasscode: 142239

SUMMARY:Special RPM: Academic Career Panel
DESCRIPTION:Special Research Progress Meeting – note special time and location. \nDate: October 1\, 2026 \nTime: 3:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Building 50 Auditorium (hybrid)   \nPanelists:\nTBA\n\nTitle: Academic Career Panel\nSummary: The Academic Career Panel will focus on the faculty job application and interview process. The event is especially geared toward postdocs preparing to apply for national lab or university faculty positions\, but everyone is welcome to attend. Panelists will include LBNL senior scientists and faculty members from UC Berkeley and neighboring universities\, who will share their experiences and answer questions about pursuing academic careers. Attendees are encouraged to bring questions about any aspect of the academic job process. \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09 \nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\n\nPasscode: 142239
