Glory.

I think the cover of PRL should debunk any theories that plasma wake field acceleration is just for crack-pots.

I promise to talk more about it, but not when typing from an internet cafe in Laos where the computer for some reason keeps switching the text to Hebrew.  Sקק 'ישא I צקשמ?

Much more "physics" talk when I am back.  Don't worry, I return in less than a week and there won't be anymore travel blog for a while.

Congrats!!! If you don't mind me asking, how do you read the diagrams? Are the "particles in the back of the bunch [accelerated] by more than 2.7 GeV" that tiny red speck at the very top of the "after" spectrum?

You also got props in Nature! Congratulations!

I'm guessing the link won't work from a net cafe though...

BTW, thought I should mention after several weeks of waiting for "Harry" I gave up, cancelled my Amazon order and borrowed it from one of the PhD students here. They were very happy to lend it as it would mean a lifting of my threat of immediate and severely disproportionate violence against anyone who mentioned anything from the book anywhere within 5kms of my office...

Wow, cool ending...

And next best thing to PRL....SLAC Today!!!
