        This session will flow into the following CPM sessions, and a coordinated strategy needs to be developed towards these topics over the coming year:
        AF10 -ultimate beams
        AF26 - plasma collider energy and power limits
        AF34 - Schwinger fields
        and will influence contributions to others including
        26 - Multi-TeV
        129 - Higgs factories
        54 - MDI
        AF18 - 0.5-3 TeV
