Our customers: high-energy physics and photon science
> High-energy physics and photon science demand high(est) energy at low cost.

                 > Solution: Plasma accelerators — signi cantly higher acceleration gradients.

> Simultaneously, particle colliders have strict demands for luminosity:
  (FELs have similar demands for brightness)

-   Need to simulate
    > 104 plasma oscillations to
    investigate plasma recovery
-   Requires new ideas and
    new low-noise codes
-   Critical to understand
    energy dissipation, power
    density limits, repetition
    rate limits
-   Will catalyze the experimental
    progress at FLASHForward
    and beyond
