The AAC26 workshop is a by-invitation biennial forum for intensive discussions on long-term research in advanced accelerator physics and technology. Since its inception in 1982, the AAC Workshop has become the principal US meeting for advanced particle accelerator research and development with strong international participation. We are anticipating over 250 scientists and research leaders in particle-beam, laser, and plasma physics to participate in this year’s meeting. This research supports the development of capabilities for the basic sciences, from photon science to high energy physics, as well as the development of compact accelerators for industrial, medical and security applications.
The Workshop will take place in Los Angeles, CA from July 26-31, 2026 at the Luskin Conference Center located on the UCLA campus.
