IEEE Particle Accelerator Science and Technology Award

Der IEEE Particle Accelerator Science and Technology Award ist ein Preis des IEEE (Abteilung Kern- und Plasmaphysik) für Teilchenbeschleuniger-Physik und -Technologie. Es werden alle zwei Jahre zwei Preise vergeben, davon ein Nachwuchspreis. Zuletzt erfolgte die Vergabe alle ein bis zwei Jahre.

Er gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Preise auf dem Gebiet der Beschleunigerphysik neben dem Robert R. Wilson Prize der American Physical Society, den EPS Accelerator Group Prizes der European Physical Society und dem USPAS Prize for Achievement in Accelerator Physics and Technology.
