Draft:International Particle Accelerator Conference

The International Particle Accelerator Conference (IPAC) is a scientific conference, which covers the field of accelerator physics and technology. Since 2010, it is held annually with venues shifting between Asian, European and American countries. Each conference is hosted by an institution connected to accelerator physics and includes excursions to facilities doing research in accelerators or related fields. Industry sessions and integrated trade fairs allow networking, technology transfer and presentations of new equipment.

Submitted papers are either accompanied by a poster or, after invitation, by an oral presentation.

Topics
As the leading accelerator conference, IPAC covers a wide range of accelerator related topics. Submitted papers have to be classified into the following topics:


 * Circular and Linear Colliders
 * Synchrotron Light Sources and FELs
