EPS Executive Committee and Staff activities May 2017
The EPS works to support its members. Find below the list of activities of the EPS Executive Committee and staff last month:
Cracking the code: girls’ education in STEM
The UNESCO International Symposium and Policy Forum will take place from 28-30 August 2017 in Bangkok, Thailand.
IONS Balvanyos 2017 Conference
The IONS Balvanyos 2017 Conference will take place from 25-28 July 2017 in Balvanyos, Romania.
Triangular Current Profile for Future High-energy Accelerators
Beam-driven, collinear wakefield acceleration is one of the most promising methods proposed for the next generation of high-energy physics accelerators. This method has some similarities to a transformer where the wakefield plays the role of the voltage. A high-current drive beam experiences a low wakefield when it passes a media (e.g. plasma, dielectric structure, etc), and this is transformed into a high wakefield to accelerate a trailing low-current witness beam.
Communicating Science
Communicating science is a notoriously thorny subject. On the one hand, there has never been a greater acknowledgement of our collective need for scientific understanding. In our technologically sophisticated age, it is often maintained, it is paramount to develop a scientifically literate society to allow us to best grapple with a litany of pressing, often science-related, issues.
Joint EPS-SIF International School on Energy 2017
The primary goal of the School will be to present all physics fields with relevance to the technologies of energy production, conversion, transmission and savings, thus addressing today’s most relevant energy issues. The potential of the various technologies will be presented and the need for more research and development to fully unfold them will be indicated. For this purpose, basic lectures and topical seminars will be presented by specialists in their field.
New insights in accelerator-driven systems
As part of EUCARD2 activities, and co-sponsored by EPS Technology and Innovation Group (TIG), a workshop on the status of new developments in Accelerator-Driven Systems or ADS was held at CERN on February 7-9.
The University of Basel is recruiting
The Department of Physics of the University of Basel, Switzerland, is recruiting a PhD Excellence Fellowships.
3rd ATTRACT TWD Symposium in Detection and Imaging (Tripolis)
Following the successful TWD Symposiums in Barcelona and in Strasbourg, the 3rd TWD will take place from 31 May to 1 June 2017 in Tripolis, Greece. The symposium focuses specifically on sensor-related data acquisition, computing, software and system integration.
ERL17 workshop
We are pleased to announce that the 59th ICFA Advanced Beam Dynamics Workshop on Energy Recovery Linacs (ERL17) will be held at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, from 18-23 June 2017. This will be the 7th in the series of international workshops covering accelerator physics, technology and applications of Energy Recovery Linacs.
Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics VIII
The 8th Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics international conference [NPAVIII] will be held from 18-21 June 2017 at the INFN – Laboratori Nazionali del Sud in Catania, Italy. NPAVIII is supported by the European Physical Society.
