The European Physical Society’s Accelerator Group (EPS-AG) has
announced the winners of its 2023 prizes, which are awarded every three
years for outstanding achievements in the accelerator field. The prizes
will be presented at an awards session during the International Particle
Accelerator Conference (IPAC’23), which takes place from 7th to 12th
May in Venice, Italy.
The EPS-AG Rolf Wideröe Prize for
outstanding work in the accelerator field has been given to Katsunobu
Oide, KEK and visiting scientist at CERN / University of Geneva, for his
many conceptual contributions to linear and circular particle
colliders. Examples include the Oide limit of final focus systems and
the design of the final focus test beam at SLAC, crab crossing in
circular colliders, the beam optics design code SAD, design work for
KEKB and KEK-ATF, advanced lattice design for the FCC study, and his
leading role in design, commissioning and performance optimization of
KEK accelerators.
The EPS-AG Gersh Budker Prize for a
recent, significant, original contribution to the accelerator field has
been awarded to Mikhail Krasilnikov, DESY/Zeuthen, for his achievements
in the development of high brightness electron beams and a high power,
tunable THz SASE free electron laser based on those beams, demonstrating
lasing at the PITZ facility in 2022.
The EPS-AG Frank Sacherer Prize for
an individual in the early part of his or her career goes to Xingchen
Xu, Fermilab, for his contributions in demonstrating the effectiveness
of the internal oxidation method in Nb3Sn wires to strongly improve the
performance of this superconductor by using artificial pinning centers,
opening the way to the next generation of high field accelerator
magnets.
