EPS Accelerator Group Prize

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The EPS Accelerator Group Prizes are prizes of the accelerators department of the European Physical Society for research and technology of particle accelerators . They are not tied to any nationality and have been awarded every two years since 1994. In 2011 they were named a Rolf Wideröe Prize (after Rolf Wideröe ) for outstanding performance in the field of particle accelerators (no age limit), the Gersh Budker Prize for recent achievements (after Gersch Izkowitsch Budker , no age limit) and the Frank-Sacherer-Prize for young scientists (after Frank Sacherer ).

The EPS Accelerator Physics Awards are one of the most important awards in the field of accelerator physics alongside the Robert R. Wilson Prize of the American Physical Society, the USPAS Prize for Achievement in Accelerator Physics and Technology, and the IEEE Particle Accelerator Science and Technology Award of the IEEE .
