The European Physical Society Accelerator Group (EPS-AG) offers four awards during the 14th International Particle Accelerator Conference (IPAC’23) taking place in Europe. In addition two prizes for best students posters will be awarded during the conference.
The EPS-AG/IPAC’23 Accelerator Prizes are for individuals who have made outstanding contributions to accelerator science and technology, and are committed to its peaceful use and collaboration. The prizes have no restriction as to nationality.
The European Physical Society Accelerator Group / IPAC’23 Prizes Selection Committee, chaired by Mike Seidel, PSI, has selected the winners as follows:
The Rolf Wideröe Prize for outstanding work in the accelerator field with no age limit has been given to Katsunobu Oide, KEK and visiting scientist at CERN / University of Geneva, for his many conceptual contributions to linear and circular particle colliders. Examples include the Oide limit of final focus systems and the design of the final focus test beam at SLAC, crab crossing in circular colliders, the beam optics design code SAD, design work for KEKB and KEK-ATF, advanced lattice design for the FCC study, and his leading role in design, commissioning and performance optimization of KEK accelerators.
The winner will receive an engraved medal, and make an oral presentation during the Accelerator Prizes Special Session at IPAC’23.
The Gersh Budker Prize for a recent, significant contribution to the accelerator field with no age limit has been awarded to Mikhail Krasilnikov, DESY/Zeuthen, for his achievements in the development of high brightness electron beams and a high power, tunable THz SASE free electron laser based on those beams, demonstrating lasing at the PITZ facility in 2022. The winner will receive an engraved medal, and make an oral presentation during the Accelerator Prizes Special Session at IPAC’23.
The Frank Sacherer Prize for an individual in the early part of his or her career, having made a recent significant, original contribution to the accelerator field. goes to Xingchen Xu, Fermilab, for his contributions in demonstrating the effectiveness of the internal oxidation method in Nb3Sn wires to strongly improve the performance of this superconductor by using artificial pinning centers, opening the way to the next generation of high field accelerator magnets. The winner will receive a framed certificate, and a cash prize of 2.000,00 EUR, and will also make an oral presentation during the Accelerator Prizes Special Session at IPAC’23.
The Bruno Touschek Prize, will be awarded to a student registered for a PhD or diploma in accelerator physics or engineering or to a trainee accelerator physicist or engineer in the educational phase of their professional career, for the quality of work and promise for the future.
Applicants will be judged on the quality of the work submitted to the conference. The winner will receive a framed certificate, and a cash prize of 1.000,00 EUR and will have the opportunity to make a short oral presentation during the Accelerator Prizes Special Session at IPAC’23.
5. The Best Student Posters, will be awarded to 2 students whose work, presented in the special session for students is particularly meritorious.
Each winner will receive a cash prize of 500,00 EUR, during the Accelerator Prizes Special Session at IPAC’23.
