<p class="MsoNormal">Abstract: <span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#222222">Over the past few years, compact plasma-based particle accelerators have advanced sufficiently that it is no longer a pipe dream to imagine
a tabletop x-ray free-electron laser in every major university in the world [1], or proton cancer therapy on a scale that many hospitals could afford. I will survey recent experimental highlights in the field that make these hopes more realistic than even
a few years ago, including a milestone achieved recently using the Texas Petawatt Laser: nearly mono-energetic acceleration of plasma electrons to 2 GeV with unprecedented sub-milliradian beam divergence [2]. Finally I will describe new holographic techniques
that enable experimenters to visualize the electron density waves that lie at the heart of plasma-based accelerators [3]. Such 4D visualization, previously available only from intensive computer simulations, helps physicists understand how plasma-based particle
accelerators work, and how to make them work better.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
