Particle Accelerator Science and Technology Award

The IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society awards the Particle Accelerator Science and Technology Award to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the development of particle accelerator science and technology.

Two Awards are granted in each occurrence of the Particle Accelerator Conference.  At least one award will be given to an individual early in his/her career. Nomination packages are to be submitted in six copies. The package should include a nomination letter containing a suggested award citation, a brief curriculum vitae, a list of relevant publications and up to three letters of support from persons besides the nominator.

A call for nominations is issued typically six to eight months before the upcoming Particle Accelerator Conference.

For the 2009 Particle Accelerator Conference, please do not send nominations before October 15, 2008. The deadline, after which no applications will be accepted, is December 15, 2008. Nominations are to be sent to the Chair of the IEEE/NPSS Particle Accelerator Science and Technology Technical Committee. The current chair is:

                               Dr. Ilan Ben-Zvi
                               Brookhaven National Laboratory
                               MS 911B
                               Upton, NY 11973
