报告简介：
The field of plasma accelerators based on laser or charged particle beam driven wakefields has experienced significant progress worldwide in the past decade, with promises to downsize the large scale accelerators and light sources by factor of hundreds to thousands. The so called Blowout Regime for wakefield acceleration has played a very important role for these development. In the first half of this talk, I will focus on the important physics of this special regime and show why it is a great choice for accelerating high quality electron beams. In the second half, the recent progress made in my research team (L2PA) at Tsinghua University will be presented. The focus of our research at L2PA is mainly on generating high quality beams with parameters comparable or even much better than what can be achieved by the best technology today. Some ideas on how this can be done will be discussed in details.

报告人介绍：
Wei Lu received his Bachelor’s degree from Tsinghua University in 1998 and his PhD. from University of California at Los Angeles in 2006. In 2011 he joined Tsinghua University as a full professor in the Department of Engineering Physics and was also selected by the first version of thousand young talent program of China. Wei is a plasma physicist with major research interests on theoretical, computational and experimental aspects of laser plasma interaction and plasma based advanced accelerators. He has been well recognized worldwide as one of the youngest leaders in the fast growing field of plasma accelerators. In 2007, he received the first John Dawson Thesis Prize in the plasma accelerator community. By 2013, he has coauthored more than 80 publications, with 16 PRL, 1 Nature, 1 Nature Physics and 5 Physics of Plasma invited papers, with total citation more than 1640, H-index 20. Since 2009 he has been invited to serve as international advisory or program committee members and working group leaders for major conferences of plasma accelerators. In 2011 he co-organized with Shanghai Jiao Tong University the 2011 Laser Plasma Accelerator Workshop in Wu Zhen and also served as co-editor for a special issue of Journal of Plasma Physics on plasma accelerators. Currently he is building up a laboratory for laser plasma physics and advanced accelerator technology (L2PA) at Tsinghua University.
