ABOUT
Welcome to IBS Conference on Laser Plasma Accelerators 2017
It is a great pleasure to invite you to the IBS Conference on Laser Plasma Accelerators, which will be held at Seogwipo-KAL hotel, Jeju island, Korea, from August 27 to September 1, 2017. This conference is the continuation of Laser Plasma Accelerator Workshop (LPAW) first held in Kardamili, Greece, and recently in Goa, India (2013) and in Guadeloupe, French Caribbean Island (2015).
In this conference approximately 150 participants will join from the field of laser plasma accelerators. The meeting also offers the opportunity to present the latest developments in laser and particle-beam drivers, novel accelerator concepts, diagnostics, high-field science, other particle sources, high-energy density plasmas and applications of next generation accelerators.
In particular, five working groups will focus upon:
Laser wakefield accelerators
Plasma wakefield accelerator
Radiation generation
Ion acceleration
Theory and computation
The workshop will be sponsored by Institute for Basic Science (IBS) as a series of “IBS conference”. The platform and style of the meeting will be the same as previous meetings. All of you are warmly invited to the workshop for presenting recent works and exchanging new research ideas on laser plasma accelerators.

JOHN DAWSON PRIZE
“John Dawson Thesis prizes” is awarded on a biannual basis for the best PhD thesis in the area of plasma accelerators driven by lasers, electrons or positrons, and now proton beams. These prizes will be awarded up to two persons for fundamental (theoretical and/or experimental) and/or for applied aspects.
Each prize winner will receive a certificate of merit, 1000 Euros. The prize will be awarded in the Laser and Plasma Accelerators Workshop that will be held at Jeju Island in Korea, from the 27 of August to the 1th of September, 2017.
These prizes are nominated on the basis of recommendation from one of the PhD thesis examiners. The letters of recommendation should be written in English, and submitted electronically in pdf-format. In addition, the nominated student’s supervisor must send a letter containing a one-page CV, a short summary of the achievements reported in the nominated thesis together with a list of associated publications and reasons why the thesis is particularly deserving of the appropriate thesis prize. All these documents have to be sent on a single pdf document, non-completed nomination will not be considered.
Eligible candidates for the 2017 edition of the John Dawson Prize are those who have defended their PhD thesis during 2015 or 2016.
All nominations should be submitted to the John Dawson Thesis Prize Committee before May 31, 2017 to the email address:
dawsonprize.wlpa17@ist.utl.pt
The 2017 John Dawson Thesis Prize Committee members are:
C. Joshi (ULCA), V. Malka (LOA/WIS), Z. Najmudin (IC), C. H. Nam (CoReLS/IBS), C. Schroeder (LBNL), Z.M. Sheng (SJTU), and L. Silva (IST).
PROCEEDINGS
A special issue of the Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion devoted to papers presented at the Laser-Plasma accelerator Workshop 2017 will be published. The received papers will go through a usual peer review process before they can be accepted for publication.
Submitted papers should be new results rather than progress reports/review.
Both theory and experimental papers are welcome.
We encourage all attendees to submit a paper to this special cluster issue.
The deadline is October 15, 2017
