Call for Invited Speaker Recommendations for the 72nd GEC (2019)

The GEC Executive Committee is soliciting recommendations for invited speakers for the 2019 GEC from GEC members. A member can recommend a person to present an invited talk by filling out the online form available at
https://ultron.aps.org/forms/aps.cgi?id=1400.

Although more than one submission is allowed, please be judicious if you make multiple recommendations. On the online form you have the opportunity to supply supporting information. A compelling recommendation, with additional references, will have a greater impact on the selection of invited speakers. At the Portland conference the GEC Executive Committee will consider the recommendations for the GEC 2019 list of invited speakers. We will consider recommendations submitted to the online form by Tuesday, November 6, 23:59 Eastern Standard Time.

Publication of Invited Speaker articles in Journal of Physics B and Plasma Sources Science and Technology

GEC invited-speakers in the Collisions category have been invited to submit their conference article to the IOP journal Journal of Physics B whereas GEC invited-speakers in all other categories have been invited to submit their conference article to the IOP journal Plasma Sources Science and Technology.  Articles are required to contain at least 30% of new and unpublished research and need to be within the scope of JPhysB and PSST, respectively.  The articles will be reviewed to the usual JPhysB and PSST standards and published as regular papers.  Once all the articles are published, they will be gathered on a web page dedicated to the 71st GEC and be free to download for a limited period.  This year, the Guest Editors are L. Ugo Ancarani (Université de Lorraine, France, ugo.ancarani@univ-lorraine.fr) and Tom Kirchner (York University, Canada, tomk@yorku.ca) for JPhysB, Anne Bourdon (LPP, CNRS, Ecole Polytechnique, France, anne.bourdon@lpp.polytechnique.fr) and Jean-Paul Booth (LPP, CNRS, Ecole Polytechnique, France, jean-paul.booth@lpp.polytechnique.fr) for PSST. Please contact the Guest Editors or the JPhysB/PSST publishing teams if you have questions about your invited-talk article.
