Particle accelerators have become the largest and most expensive of scientific instruments. Thirty years ago, a biennial Advanced Accelerator Concepts (AAC) Workshop series began as an effort to bring together U. S. researchers and selected foreign representatives from diverse technical backgrounds to explore new ideas for making accelerators leaner and meaner. The PI is now organizing the 15th AAC workshop, to be held June 10-15, 2012 in Austin, Texas. Student participation is becoming an increasingly important component of these meetings. Recent AAC workshops have featured a student poster session, several best poster student prizes, oral presentations by the winners in the closing plenary session, and partial student scholarships. The upcoming 15th AAC Workshop will continue these features, while increasing student participation from 50 to approximately 60, and for the first time providing a series of tutorials aimed specifically at student attendees. The primary objective of the use of the funds is to reduce the cost of U. S. student attendance at the 15th AAC Workshop in Austin, Texas. Funds will be distributed as 20 NSF AAC student scholarships of $500 each to qualified student participants from U.S. institutions. Students will be invited to apply for scholarships through an advertisement on the AAC workshop web site and by email. Recipients will be selected by a multi-institutional committee of senior workshop participants based on scientific merit of the students application, letters of recommendation, and institutional balance. Applications from minorities, women, and persons with disabilities will be particularly encouraged.

粒子加速器已经成为最大和最昂贵的科学仪器。三十年前，两年一度的高级加速器概念（AAC）研讨会系列开始作为一项努力，汇集了美国。S.研究人员和来自不同技术背景的外国代表，探索使加速器更精简和更有效的新想法。PI现在正在组织第15届AAC研讨会，将于2012年6月10日至15日在德克萨斯州奥斯汀举行。学生的参与正成为这些会议越来越重要的组成部分。最近的AAC研讨会有一个学生海报会议，几个最佳海报学生奖，获奖者在闭幕全体会议上的口头介绍，以及部分学生奖学金。即将到来的第15届AAC研讨会将继续这些功能，同时将学生参与人数从50人增加到约60人，并首次提供一系列专门针对学生与会者的教程。使用这笔资金的主要目的是降低美国的成本。S.学生出席在得克萨斯州奥斯汀举行的第15届AAC研讨会。资金将作为20个NSF AAC学生奖学金分发给来自美国机构的合格学生，每个奖学金500美元。学生将被邀请通过AAC研讨会网站上的广告和电子邮件申请奖学金。获奖者将由一个由高级研讨会参与者组成的多机构委员会根据学生申请的科学价值，推荐信和机构平衡来选择。将特别鼓励少数民族、妇女和残疾人的申请。
