The AAC Prize is awarded to individuals for outstanding contributions to the science and technology of advanced accelerator concepts. The AAC Prize comprises a monetary award of $US 6,000, a plaque, and a certificate. The plaque bears the name of the prize, the name of the winner and his or her institution, the date of award, and a citation, as well as the source of funding. The plaque and certificate is signed by the Chair of the Prize Selection Committee (PSC). The prize is awarded at every Advanced Accelerator Concepts Workshop at the workshop's banquet. The first prize was awarded at the 2008 AAC meeting.

Establishment and Support

The second Advanced Accelerator Concepts Prize will be awarded at the 2010 Advanced Accelerator Concepts Workshop, Annapolis, MD, June 13-19, 2010. This prize is made possible by a generous donation from Bergoz Instrumentation, of Saint Genis Pouilly, France, manufacturers of electronic instruments to non-destructively measure fast pulses, DC and AC currents, and the properties of beams from high energy particle accelerators.
