APS DPP Annual Meeting

66th Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Plasma Physics 

October 7-11, 2024 • Atlanta, Georgia USA

Attendees of any APS in-person or virtual events are expected to meet standards of professional conduct as described in the APS Code of Conduct. Violations of these standards may disqualify people from future participation.


Sorting Categories – Revised 2022

Submissions should include a DPP sorting category from the list below. Sorting categories are used to assign contributed abstracts to a session. Each contributed abstract must indicate both a “type” category and a “subject classification” category to be assigned to an appropriate session. Preferences for a Group abstract placement must be specified in first author order in the “Special Instructions” field.

As always, Magnetic Confinement includes both device specific and nonspecific categories. If you request a device specific category, the Program Committee will make every effort to place your contribution in a session devoted to that device or class of devices. Likewise, if you choose a non-device specific category, we will endeavor to place you with other contributions related to that topic, even if your work is based on a specific device. This is to allow you the choice of device oriented versus science topic-oriented placement.

Early Career Scientists: If you are an early career scientist, based on a recent or anticipated PhD thesis, please use the “Special Instructions” field if you wish to present a 24-minute oral contributed talk. In the Special Instructions field indicate “PhD Oral-24”. These talks are double the standard 12-minute length oral contributed presentations and will be flagged in the program.

Societal impacts, diversity, equity, and inclusion: Please indicate in the Special Instructions field if you believe your presentation has societal or environmental connections. These might include plasma-based water purification, or medicine. They might include other aspects of diversity, equity, or inclusion in our field. Please us “DEI” in the Special Instructions field. These presentations will be flagged in the program.

Group contributed submissions: It will be extremely helpful to the DPP Program Committee when groups, large or small, will indicate in the Special Instructions field the names of first authors in the preferred order of presentation. In addition, please email your ordered group list to Program Chair Karl Krushelnick and Saralyn Stewart.

Metadata: Stay tuned for guidance regarding metadata that will be linked to presenter submissions. The guidance will include information regarding a one-minute and/or a five-minute “flash talk” summary of the author presentation. DPP will provide the option for searchable presentation keywords.

Sorting category 6: As always, Magnetic Confinement includes both device specific and nonspecific categories. If you request a device specific category, the Program Committee will make every effort to place your contribution in a session devoted to that device or class of devices. Likewise, if you choose a non-device specific category, we will endeavor to place you with other contributions related to that topic, even if your work is based on a specific device. This is to allow you the choice of device oriented versus science topic-oriented placement.

Sorting category 10: Undergraduate and high school projects typically get a late start, so DPP will extend the deadline for poster abstract submissions in category 10. We ask that students submit a provisional place-holder abstract (title, author, affiliation, email) by July 1, and update your abstract up to the extended deadline. The abstract category must be 10.01, or 10.02, and the presenting author must be an undergraduate or high school student. All posters in sorting category 10.00 will be online all week, and available for synchronous presentation at the Undergraduate Poster Session on Tuesday afternoon, October 18.

Sorting category 11: There are 6 mini-conferences for DPP 2022. Oral contributed talks and posters in this category will be flagged as having societal connections. Contact mini-conference organizers for more details. An author who submits an abstract in a mini conference is allowed one additional contributed oral or poster submission in a regular session.
