Student Participation Support for 2018 Advanced Accelerator Concepts Workshop

高级加速器概念（AAC）研讨会是由电气和电子工程师协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、工程和技术界的一个重要论坛，旨在交流和传播最广泛应用领域的最先进的新思想和概念。维持这一长期使命的一个重要部分是学生对讲习班的积极参与，在那里，他们成为更大的专家社区的一部分，为新的和独特的加速器物理概念和技术的持续发展而工作。该奖项将使大约25名美国博士生能够参加第18届高级加速器概念会议并展示他们的工作成果2018年8月12日至8月17日在科罗拉多布雷肯里奇举办研讨会。本次会议预计将吸引300多名加速器科学家和工程师。 讲习班还将包括一项促进多样性的活动。这将是一个职业发展社会，将有一个特殊的客人，帕特里夏兰金博士，教授在科罗拉多大学，博尔德，和APS委员会的现任主席在物理学的妇女。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准的支持。

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 25 US PhD students to attend and present the results of their work at the 18th Advanced Accelerator Concepts Workshop in Breckenridge, Colorado from August 12 thru August 17, 2018. This meeting is expected to attract more than 300 accelerator scientists and engineers. The Workshop will also include an event to promote diversity. This will be a Career Development Social that will feature a special guest, Dr. Patricia Rankin, a Professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and the current Chair of the APS Committee on Women in Physics.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
