Student Support for 2016 Advanced Accelerator Concepts Workshop

先进加速器概念研讨会(AAC)是由电气和电子工程师学会主办的一年两次的专题会议。AAC系列研讨会是美国加速器物理、工程和技术界在最广泛的应用领域交流和传播最先进的新思想和概念的主要论坛。维持这一长期使命的一个重要部分是学生们对研讨会的大力参与，在研讨会上，他们成为致力于新的和独特的加速器物理概念和技术的持续发展的更大专家社区的一部分。该奖项将使大约14名美国博士生能够参加2016年7月31日至8月5日在马里兰州国家港盖洛德酒店和会议中心举行的第17届高级加速器概念研讨会并展示他们的工作成果。本次会议预计将吸引250多名加速器科学家和工程师参加。一个充满活力和富有成效的研究社区的关键方面是交流进步、激励创新方法和培训学生。这在一定程度上是通过会议和研讨会来实现的，在这些研讨会上，AAC系列研讨会已经成为世界公认的交流加速器开发和创新进展的论坛，聚集了来自世界各地的成熟科学家、博士后和研究生。

The Advanced Accelerator Concepts (AAC) Workshop is a biannual topical meeting under the auspices of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The AAC series of workshops is a major forum for the U.S. accelerator physics, engineering and technology community for the exchange and promulgation of the most advanced new ideas and concepts over the widest areas of application. An important part of maintaining this long term mission is the strong participation of students in the Workshop, where they become a part of the larger community of experts working for the continued evolution of new and unique accelerator physics concepts and technologies.This award will enable student participation for approximately 14 US PhD students to attend and present the results of their work at the 17th Advanced Accelerator Concepts Workshop at the Gaylord Hotel and Conference Center, National Harbor, Maryland from July 31 thru August 5, 2016. This meeting is expected to attract more than 250 accelerator scientists and engineers. Critical aspects of a vigorous and productive research community are communication of progress, stimulation of innovative approaches, and training of students. This is done in part through conferences and workshops, where the AAC series of workshops has been a world recognized forum for communication on progress in accelerator development and innovation bringing together mature scientists, post docs and graduate students from all over the world.
