“I realized there would be many applications for the laser, but it never occurred to me that we'd get such power from it!” - Charles Townes
“The discovery of this particle is potentially the beginning of another road, which is to explore what lies beyond the Standard Model” - Peter Higgs

They set the field’s horizon.
Socio Economic Impact (Preliminary Study from LLNL)
Taking Stock, Going Beyond the Horizon.
We need to marshal the World-Top’s laboratories and experts to go beyond the Horizon in:
1. Peak power from PW to EW
2. Pulse duration as to zs
3. Acceleration Gradients from GeV/cm toTeV/cm
4. Improwing average poer from kW to MW
5. New scientific and societal applications

Thank you
The laser is fifty We have seen notthing yet.
The best is yet to come.
