The fourteenth international topical meeting on the applications of accelerators (AccApp'20) was originally planned to be held at the IAEA Headquarters in Vienna, Austria, April 5-9, 2020. The meeting was postponed because of COVID-19.
The AccApp'20 was organized by Dr. Philip Cole (General Chair, Lamar University), Dr. Aliz Simon (General Co-Chair, IAEA), and Dr. Valeriia Starovoitova (Co-Chair, and Technical Program Chair, IAEA), together with 22 topic organizers.
AccApp'20 received total 320 abstracts from 58 countries. AccApp'20 was sponsored by seven industry companies, as well as IAEA and US DOE-NNSA.
