Industrial Presentation Engagement with Industry Session

Speaker

John Byrd (Argonne National Laboratory)

Description

The US Particle Accelerator School (USPAS) is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year. The USPAS provides training and workforce development in the science and technology of charged particle accelerators and associated systems. Historically, the school attendees primarily represented universities and national laboratories with relatively few from industry. However, over the past few years, several new companies based on accelerator technology have been founded in the US, primarily to address major technology areas such as semiconductor manufacturing and testing, production of radioisotopes, fusion and fission energy production, and medical applications. I will discuss how the USPAS is responding to the needs of industrial accelerator companies and continuing to support laboratory needs.
