The 2013 IEEE Pulsed Power and Plasma Science Conference; San Francisco, CA

这是一次国际知名的、出席人数众多的会议，涉及与NSF、大学、美国能源部、空军和许多其他机构直接相关的话题。IEEE脉冲功率和等离子体科学会议是由IEEE核子和等离子体科学学会主办的IEEE脉冲功率会议(PPC)和国际等离子体科学会议(ICOPS)的结合。PPC每两年举行一次，ICOPS每年举行一次；合并PPP每6年举行一次。ICOPS自1974年以来每年举行一次。最近的会议在苏格兰爱丁堡(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)、新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基(2007年，与Pulsed Power的联席会议)举行。最近在伊利诺伊州芝加哥(2011年)、华盛顿特区(2009年)和新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基(2007年，与ICOPS联合)举行了PPC。2013年，PPPS将于6月16-21日在加利福尼亚州旧金山(http://www.ece.unm.edu/ppps2013/))举行。预计出席人数约为800人。会议将包括关于脉冲功率和等离子体科学和技术研究的全体会议、口头会议和海报会议，以及等离子体科学和应用委员会奖、埃尔文·马克思奖和彼得·哈斯奖获得者的获奖致辞。口头会议将包括全体会议、特邀报告和来稿报告。全体论文演讲时间为50分钟，讨论时间为10分钟；特邀论文演讲时间为25分钟，提问时间为5分钟。投稿论文的陈述时间为12分钟，讨论时间为3分钟。PPPS迷你课程由海军研究实验室的John Giuliani组织，是关于高能量密度物理的。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。这些领域有赖于公私合作伙伴关系会议所强调的基础研究的坚实基础。PPPS技术计划通过全体会议、特邀演讲和口头演讲，以及由不同研究人员组织的不同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演变。该奖项为参加IEEE脉冲功率和等离子体科学会议的学生提供部分支持。它将支持学生旅行津贴，特别是代表人数不足的少数族裔，促进工程领域的女性，并帮助支付奖励费用。旅行津贴将授予那些将作为第一作者提交论文(口头演讲和海报)的学生。如果将有大量学生介绍他们的作品，则由当地组委会三名成员组成的委员会将根据学生的优点和需要来选择学生。

This is an internationally renowned, well-attended conference involving topics of direct interest to the NSF, Universities, DOE, Air Force, and many others. The IEEE Pulsed Power and Plasma Science conference is a combination of the IEEE Pulsed Power Conference (PPC) and the International Conference on Plasma Science (ICOPS), sponsored by the Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society of the IEEE. The PPC is held every two years, and the ICOPS is held annually; the combined PPPS is held every 6 years. ICOPS has been held annually since 1974. Recent meetings were held in 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). Recent PPCs were held in Chicago, IL (2011), Washington DC (2009), and Albuquerque, NM (2007, joint with ICOPS). In 2013, PPPS will be held in San Francisco, CA (http://www.ece.unm.edu/ppps2013/) on June 16-21. Projected attendance is approximately 800 participants. The conference will include plenary, oral, and poster sessions on research in pulsed power and plasma science and technology and Prize Addresses by the recipients of the Plasma Science and Applications Committee Award, the Ervin Marx Award, and the Peter Haas Award. Oral sessions will include plenary, invited and contributed papers. Plenary papers are 50 minutes for presentation with 10 minutes for discussion; Invited papers are allotted 25 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for questions. Contributed papers are allotted 12 minutes for presentation and 3 minutes for discussion. The PPPS Mini-course, organized by John Giuliani of Naval Research Laboratory, is on High Energy Density Physics.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 PPPS meeting. The PPPS 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.This award provides partial support for students to attend the IEEE Pulsed Power and Plasma Science conference. 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.
