  1. Plasma Science and Applications Committee Report Rickey Faehl, PSAC Chair 14 July 2013 NPSS AdCom Meeting San Francisco, California USA

  2. Recent ICOPS • ICOPS 2011 closed out*. • ICOPS 2012 several items yet to be submitted. • ICOPS 2013 (Actually PPPS2013) ended on 21 June 2013. * ICOPS 2011 Conference Chair assures me conference is closed, but NPSS audit continuing.

  3. PPPS 2013 was a Success, Despite Government Attendance Difficulties

  4. Pulsed Power Plasma Science 2013 (PPPS 2013) was a Joint Conference Between ICOPS and PPS • Conference Chair: Bryan Oliver, Sandia National Laboratories • Technical co-Chair: Mark Crawford, LANL • Technical co-Chair: John Verboncoeur, Michigan State Univ • 965 Registrants (compared to March estimate of 814): Technical registrants – 838 Companions – 73 Exhibitors – 31 Minicourse - 23 • Original abstract submission 1096 130 withdrawals 964 presented • Mini-course organized by John Giuliani on 15-16 June • HUGE credit belongs to Bryan Oliver and his team.

  5. Out PSAC Prizes were Awarded to Two Eminently Qualified Individuals • PSAC Award went to Richard Temkin of MIT He is probably the world’s pre-eminent authority on high-powered Gyrotrons, but also is a leader in using Photonic Band Gap Materials in particle accelerators. • Igor Alexeff Outstanding Student Award went to Paul Schmit, for his Doctoral thesis at Princeton, on “Novel Wave Effects in Compressing Plasmas.” He is currently the Harry S. Truman Post-Doctoral Fellow at Sandia National Laboratories.

  6. Federal Budget Sequestration will be a Factor in All Near-Term ICOPS • There are signs that Technical Conferences may not be punished as much as other Federal Travel, but … so far, nothing about FY2014 is concrete. • PSAC is looking actively, for measures to reduce expenditures, and hopefully reduce registration fees. • ICOPS 2014 is talking about eliminating the subsidized Banquet. • ICOPS 2015 is negotiating a fixed Lodging/Meal package at the Conference Venue. • Extravagance, or even its appearance, is being carefully metered in present ICOPS planning. • Stay tuned for further developments!

  7. Future ICOPS • ICOPS 2014 / Beams 2014 • 25–29 May 2014, Washington, DC USA • Chair: Joseph Schumer (NRL) • Web site is up: www.ece.unm.edu/ICOPS-Beams2014/ • ICOPS 2015 • 25-29 May 2015, Antalya, Turkey • Chair: LutfiOksuz (assistance from Edl Schamiloglu) • Conference site: negotiating with The Susesia in Belek, Antalya. • ICOPS 2016 • June 2016 – Banff, Alberta, Canada • Chair: Ying Tsui (University of Alberta)
