Science and Research committee  I think that's very tricky. I don't work in Canada right now, so I don't know what kind of funding exists for professors, for example, but the faculty positions that exist in my field are few and far between in Canada. Actually bringing researchers to Canada is very difficult in

Science and Research committee  That's a very interesting question. I think this is generally true for all fields of science, including what Dr. McDonald talked about. I believe that Canada needs to develop some sort of unique facility with unique capabilities that bring an international interest so that peopl

Science and Research committee  It's definitely the facilities. There are a significant number of facilities in the U.S. LaserNetUS, which I mentioned, was developed around four years ago and was developed for this purpose of bringing more people to the U.S. and creating a united effort in developing plasma phy

Science and Research committee  Yes. The initial funding from the National Science Foundation was around $16 million U.S. There have been some operating costs that have been added on to that since.

Science and Research committee  The ZEUS laser facility's primary or flagship experiment is this colliding beam experiment, which will allow us to access a new regime of physics that nobody has really been able to look into previously. However, there are so many diverse and vast research areas that you can go

Science and Research committee  Thank you. Hello, everyone. I would first like to thank the committee for inviting me to discuss the research that is being performed in the field of plasma physics at the Gérard Mourou Center for Ultrafast Optical Science. My name is Brandon Russell, and I am a research fellow
