Every three years, the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) organises a seminar on “Future Perspectives in High Energy Physics”. This is a four-day international exchange of information concentrating on plans for future facilities in the field of particle physics. This by-invitation-only meeting has 250 participants, including directors of most of the world’s major laboratories in our field, senior particle and accelerator physicists, and government science officials from several countries.
The 13th ICFA Seminar on Future Perspectives in High -Energy Physics is organised by the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY.
The 12th Workshop on Accelerator Operations (WAO) will take place in Barcelona (Spain), from October 4th to October 9th, 2020.
WAO’2020 will be hosted by the ALBA Synchrotron and the Worskhop venue will be the Parc de Recerca Biomèdica located on the Barceloneta seafront downtown in Barcelona.
The objective of the workshop is to create an open forum for those involved in the daily operation of particle accelerators to present, discuss, and exchange ideas with their peers from around the world. Accelerator operations staff from facilities of all sizes gather to collaborate on topics such as accelerator operation, performance, organization, maintenance, documentation, software, control room layout, remote operation, and safety. It also serves the accelerator operations community to establish benchmarks by facilitating comparisons of methods, efficiencies, costs, reliability, beam quality and other performance measures.
The workshop style atmosphere, which allows for interpersonal communication, is organized with scheduled talks, a poster session, and discussion periods; along with the opportunity for further discussion at breaks and meals.
The International Workshop on Vertex Detectors (VERTEX) is a major annual series of international workshops for physicists and engineers from the high energy and nuclear physics community. VERTEX provides an international forum to exchange the experiences and needs of the community, and to review recent, ongoing, and future activities on silicon based vertex detectors. The workshop covers a wide range of topics: existing and future detectors, new developments, radiation hardness, simulation, tracking and vertexing, electronics and triggering, applications to medical and other fields.
The AVS International Symposium and Exhibition, held each fall, is attended by scientists, engineers, professors, senior managers, technicians and students from the US and abroad. More than 1300 papers and posters are presented in over 150 technical sessions.
An extensive exhibition of equipment, tools, materials, supplies, chemicals, services and consulting, technical literature and new technologies are showcased.
AVS is a society unique for its multidisciplinary coverage of science and technology – no place is this more evident than at the International Symposium and Exhibition which attracts international attendees from a variety of industries.
