000207556 680__ $$aThe Helmholtz Virtual Institute on plasma wakefield acceleration of highly relativistic electrons will bring together leading accelerator centres in Germany and worldwide to address topics at the forefront of accelerator research. The VI will enhance the prospects of the field of plasma-based acceleration by building on the initial steps that have been taken recently in establishing it as a comprehensive research topic in Hamburg. The VI is very timely to build on the award to Foster of an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship at DESY and the University of Hamburg in summer 2011. A significant fraction of the resources of the Humboldt chair will be devoted to research areas contributing directly to the VI, which will bring together many of the world’s leading laboratories in the area of laser-plasma acceleration. The programme of the VI will benefit from unique facilities at the partner labs, particularly DESY but also LBNL and SLAC, to make significant progress in the task of accelerating bunches of particles with good beam quality to high energies. The understanding of the basic mechanisms via a number of key targeted experiments involving high-quality beams using state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques and high-precision timing  forms the core of the VI’s programme. Exploiting our expertise on simulation of the basic processes will also form a key part of the VI’s activities. The additional expertise on lasers at the University of Hamburg rounds off the capabilities which are centred on the unique and  sophisticated electron accelerators and Free Electron Lasers at DESY.
