Abstract

The 13th International Particle Accelerator Conference, IPAC’22, took place at IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Center, Bangkok, Thailand from Sunday, June 12 to Friday, June 17, 2022. IPAC’22 was organized as the first in-person IPAC since the emergence of COVID-19 as a global pandemic and was attended by 742 delegates from 37 countries on all continents. The total includes 118 industry and exhibitor delegates. Hosted by Synchrotron Light Research Institute (Public Organization) - SLRI. SLRI was established in 1996 (originally as National Synchrotron Research Center - NSRC) and is the national synchrotron research institute which also known as “Thai Synchrotron National Lab”, situated in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand. SLRI performs its main duties on development, operation, and management of synchrotron light source “Siam Photon Source (SPS)” in order to achieve one of its main goals in production of synchrotron light and provide it for user application on research. The Local Organizing Committee (LOC) consisted of 66 staff from SLRI.There were 169 young scientists or students from all over the world attending the conference. Student grants were offered to 60 of these students thanks to the sponsorship of societies, institutes and laboratories worldwide. The Americas region grants were sponsored by APS-DB, ODU, CLS, SLAC, FRIB, and Jefferson Lab. The Europe region sponsors are EPS-AG, GSI, CNRS/IN2P3, INFN/LNL, CERN, DESY, PSI, CEA Saclay, ELETTRA, CELLS/ALBA, HZB, ESS, Cockcroft Institute, KIT, SOLEIL, ESRF, STFC/DL/ASTeC, MAX IV, and FZJ. The Asian region was sponsored by IPAC’22, SLRI, IPAC’19, ANSTO, SUT, GIT, LION, NSF, iRCT, Ti, Prime Street Advisory, NXPO, PUDITEC, and SPECS. The organizers of IPAC’22 are grateful to all sponsors for their valued support of students.Welcome remarks were made by Prapong Klysubun (SLRI), Chair of the Organizing Committee (OC). Yoshihiro Funakoshi (KEK), Enrica Chiadroni (INFN/LNF), and David Tarazona (Cornell University) opened the scientific program with presentations, respectively, on “The SuperKEKB Has Broken the World Record of the Luminosity”, “Progress Towards Demonstration of a Plasma Based FEL”, and “The Accelerator and Beam Physics of the g-2 Experiment”. The conference opening ceremony was on Monday afternoon and presided over by H.R.H. Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn featuring Special Plenary Talks from Chris Polly (Fermilab) on “Growing Expectations for New Physics” and Prapaiwan Sunwong (SLRI) on “SPS-II: A 4th Generation Synchrotron Light Source in Southeast Asia”.The program was closed with illuminating presentations by Mike Seidel (PSI) on “Towards Efficient Particle Accelerators - a Review”; Manjit Dosanjh (CERN/Oxford University) on “Accelerating the Future: Designing a Robust and Affordable Radiation Therapy Treatment System for Challenging Environments”; and Tomoki Nakamura (Tohoku University) on “Synchrotron Light Illuminates the Origin of the Solar System”.There were 36 invited and 52 contributed oral presentations of very high quality presented during the week. The regional distribution of talks was 16.7 % from Asia, 59.1 % from Europe, and 24.2 % from the Americas. The gender ratio for oral presentations was 71.6 % male and 28.4 % female. The oral presentations were 79.5 % onsite talks and 20.5 % remote talks.
