In February 2015, the Department of Energy, Office of Science, Fusion Energy Sciences (FES)” announced the formation of four technical workshops “to seek community engagement and input for future program planning activities.” Three of these workshops focused on the science and technical challenges we must address to meet the emerging needs of ITER and to allow exploration of fusion burning plasma physics in the laboratory. This report represents the work of the fourth workshop, which focused on the broader scientific opportunities at the frontiers of plasma science. The primary charge to the Panel authoring this report was “to ‘identify’ compelling scientific challenges at the frontiers of plasma physics” and “to ‘identify’ research tools and capabilities to address these challenges in the next decade.” This report aims to inform the newly constituted FES Program in Frontiers of Plasma Science on science opportunities and strategy moving forward. This program was created in FY2015 by combining topics from general plasma science, high energy density laboratory plasmas, and exploratory magnetized plasma into a single program area. The Executive Summary, chapter introductions and sidebars to the chapter are intended to provide more general overviews of the findings of the panel. The chapters provide more details following these themes.
