AccApp'20

 

We regret to inform you that this conference has been cancelled. For further information please visit the conference website: http://accapp20.org/.

AccApp'20 is the fourteenth international topical meeting on the applications of accelerators; it is being organized by the Accelerator Applications Division of the
American Nuclear Society (ANS) in co-operation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). AccApp'20 will be held at the IAEA Headquarters in the
Vienna International Centre, Vienna, Austria, 5-9 April 2020.

The purpose of these topical AccApp meetings is to provide an international forum for discussing the various applications of particle accelerators. Meetings are
focused on the production and utilization of accelerator-produced neutrons, photons, electrons and other particles for scientific and industrial purposes; production
or destruction of radionuclides significant for energy, medicine, cultural heritage, or other endeavors; safety and security applications; medical imaging, diagnostics, and
therapeutic treatment. One of the great strengths of the AccApp meetings is the dissemination of knowledge on the diverse applications of accelerators.

The conference provides an opportunity for nuclear physicists, accelerator physicists, nuclear engineers, and other experts in the international community to meet
and discuss their research face-to-face. These interactions can help establish good working relationships and collaborations to solve common problems across
multiple disciplines. Also, old friendships can be cultivated, and new ones established. You are cordially invited to participate in AccApp'20 by submitting an abstract,
making an oral or poster presentation, and submitting a full paper for publication in our conference proceedings.
