2008 Advanced Accelerator Concepts Workshop
The Advanced Accelerator Concepts (AAC) Workshop is a biennial forum for discussions on advanced accelerator and beam physics and technology. It covers the wide range of advanced accelerator development, supporting future accelerator needs from High Energy Colliders to Synchrotron Radiation Sources. Topics include:
- New methods for particle acceleration to high energies
- Production of ultra-high accelerating fields to allow compact devices
- Advanced beam diagnostics and control
- Novel energy and beam sources
- Computational tools and techniques for modeling
Co-organized by UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the AAC08 Workshop was held at the Chaminade Conference Center in Santa Cruz, California from July 27 – August 2, 2008.
The conference will include presentation of the 2008 Advanced Accelerator Concepts Prize, sponsored by Bergoz Inc., France, honoring outstanding contributions the science and technology of advanced accelerator concepts.
