The 41st IEEE International Conference on Plasma Science (ICOPS) and the 20th International Conference on High-Powered Particle Beams (Beams 2014) will be held in Washington, DC May 25-29, 2014. The meeting is sponsored by the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society under the supervision of the Plasma Science and Applications Committee and Pulsed Power Science & Technology Committee to provide a forum for the exchange of technical information in the area of plasma science, pulsed power science, technology, systems, and applications. Plasma technologies are expanding rapidly into new areas including bio-medical areas, high energy density matter, materials processing, in addition to continued growth in traditional areas such as basic physics, lighting, radiation sources, beam physics, inertial and magnetic confinement fusion, environmental sciences, and pulsed power. These areas depend on a strong foundation of basic research featured in the ICOPS meeting. The ICOPS technical program continues to reflect the dynamic evolution of pulsed power and plasma science through plenary, invited, and oral talks, as well as interactive poster sessions in a diverse set of sessions organized by a diverse group of researchers. The ICOPS is held annually and is joining Beams, which is returning to the United States this year, and is held bi-annually. ICOPS has been held annually since 1974. Recent meetings were held in San Francisco, CA (2013, a joint meeting with Pulsed Power), Edinburgh, Scotland (2012), Chicago, IL (2011), Norfolk VA (2010), San Diego CA (2009), Karlsruhe Germany (2008), Albuquerque NM (2007, a joint meeting with Pulsed Power). In 2014, ICOPS/Beams will be held in Washington, DC (http://www.ece.unm.edu/icops-beams2014/index.html). Projected attendance is approximately 500 participants. The conference will include plenary, oral, and poster sessions on research in charged particle beams and plasma science and technology and a Prize Address by the recipient of the Plasma Science and Applications Committee Award. Oral sessions will include plenary, invited and contributed papers. In addition to the material traditionally covered in these conferences, two mini-courses will also be offered, on the topics of Low Temperature Atmospheric Pressure Plasmas and Atomic and Radiation Physics. This award provides partial support for students to attend the IEEE International Conference on Plasma Science and the International Conference on High-Powered Particle Beams. It will support student travel grants, particularly underrepresented minorities, promote women in engineering, and help in awards costs. The travel grant will be awarded to those students who will be presenting papers (oral talks and posters) as first authors. If a large number of students will be presenting their work, then a committee consisting of three members of the local organizing committee will choose students on the basis of merit and need.

第41届IEEE等离子体科学国际会议（ICOPS）和第20届高能粒子束国际会议（Beams 2014）将于2014年5月25日至29日在华盛顿特区举行。本次会议由IEEE核与等离子体科学学会主办，由等离子体科学与应用委员会和脉冲功率科学与技术委员会监督，旨在为等离子体科学、脉冲功率科学、技术、系统和应用领域的技术信息交流提供一个论坛。等离子体技术正在迅速扩展到新的领域，包括生物医学领域、高能量密度物质、材料加工，以及在基础物理、照明、辐射源、束流物理、惯性和磁约束聚变、环境科学和脉冲功率等传统领域的持续增长。这些领域依赖于ICOPS会议所具有的基础研究的坚实基础。ICOPS技术计划通过全体会议、邀请和口头会谈，以及由不同研究人员组织的各种会议中的互动海报会议，继续反映脉冲功率和等离子体科学的动态发展。ICOPS每年举办一次，与今年重返美国的Beams一样，每两年举办一次。ICOPS自1974年以来每年举行一次。最近的会议在加利福尼亚州旧金山（2013年，脉冲功率联合会议）、苏格兰爱丁堡（2012年）、伊利诺伊州芝加哥（2011年）、弗吉尼亚州诺福克（2010年）、加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥（2009年）、德国卡尔斯鲁厄（2008年）、新罕布什尔州阿尔伯克基（2007年，脉冲功率联合会议）举行。2014年，ICOPS/Beams将在华盛顿特区举行（http://www.ece.unm.edu/icops-beams2014/index.html）。预计出席人数约为500人。会议将包括全体会议、口头会议和海报会议，讨论带电粒子束和等离子体科学与技术的研究，并由等离子体科学与应用委员会奖获得者发表获奖演讲。口头会议将包括全体会议、邀请和贡献的文件。除了这些会议传统上涵盖的材料外，还将提供两门小型课程，主题是低温大气压等离子体和原子与辐射物理。该奖项为学生参加IEEE国际等离子体科学会议和国际高能粒子束会议提供部分支持。它将支持学生的旅行补助，特别是少数族裔，促进女性在工程领域的发展，并帮助支付奖励费用。旅行补助金将颁发给以第一作者身份发表论文（口头演讲和海报）的学生。如果有大量学生将展示他们的作品，那么由当地组委会的三名成员组成的委员会将根据学生的优点和需要选择学生。
