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 Conferences held in North America (PAC or IPAC). At least one award will be given to an individual early in his/her career. Nomination packages are to be submitted by electronic mail only. 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.

The 2013 PAST Awards will be presented at the 2013 Particle Accelerator Conference (September 29-October 4) in Pasadena, CA. Please send nominations before close of business EST Friday June 28, 2013. Nominations are to be sent electronically (only) to the Awards Subcommittee Chair of the IEEE/NPSS Particle Accelerator Science and Technology Technical Committee. The current subcommittee chair is:

Ilan Ben-Zvi
Phone (631) 344-5143
E-mail: benzvi@bnl.gov

PAST Award Committee: Ilan Ben-Zvi (Chair), Michael Harrison, Chan Joshi, Stephen Milton, Vitaly Yakimenko.
