WG14: ACCELERATOR SCIENCE

IUPAP Working Group 14 (WG14), on Accelerator Science, was created in 2015 to promote the exchange of information and views among the members of the international scientific community in the field of Accelerator Science including, but not limited to, the following:

• the theory and experiments concerned with the nature and properties of particle accelerators and beam physics
• the improvement of international communication in Accelerator Science through the sponsorship of professional meetings
• the future of accelerator facilities for various fields that benefit science and society
• the industrial, medical, energy production and environmental applications of relevant accelerator technologies
