Dear Colleagues,
The 2019 School follows the 2015 and 2017 editions that were dedicated to the progress made by Low Energy Nuclear Physics with Radioactive Beams during the last thirty years and by the study of the Nuclear Interaction respectively. Similarly to the previous edition, the aim of the 2019 event is to attract and train the best possible students introducing them to the wonders of Nuclear Physics. We shall try to convey to such students a view of the rich variety of on-going activities in the field, both experimental and theoretical, as well as the progress we have made in the last years that can be developed further in the future.
The planned activities will be directed towards students who are in the process of deciding what graduate studies to specialize in. In Italy this happens typically when the students are achieving the qualification of Bachelor of Science or during their first year of Master of Science studies. INFN will offer about thirty scholarships to participate in this program: eligible are Italian students who during the present Academic Year will pass a Nuclear Physics class with top mark. Students from other countries will be accepted on the basis of a selection made in the country of origin according to the standards described above.
Content of the activity
In order to give to the activity a fully international character, and because we aim to encourage the participation of really young students, the first half day of the Summer School will be dedicated to some introductory lectures given in separated sessions in different languages. Then there will be twelve more lectures during the following days. Each of them will cover a new aspect of Nuclear Physics applications in which the understanding of basic Nuclear Physics and its experimental manifestation play a key role. During the week, there will be also presentations about the possibilities to work on a PhD thesis in Nuclear Physics in various international Laboratories and/or Universities. Each day will be concluded with some tutorials given in different languages in order to clarify the content of the plenary lectures.
The last half-a-day we plan a visit to the INFN EGO-VIRGO facility in nearby Cascina.
Original contributions will be invited for submission to the European Physical Journal Plus. The program and lectures given during the previous Summer School are available at the 2015 edition website and the 2017 edition website.
Details of the registration procedure
Registration is now open (link on the left menu) and the deadline is Friday, June 28th 2019.
Italian Undergraduates: There is no fee and the acceptance is on the basis of direct contacts between the University professors or INFN staff of the place the students are coming from and the local organizers in Pisa. The school will offer coffee breaks, lunches and the social dinner. Furthermore the school will provide a card for the University canteen where the students can have dinner, and a shared room for those with an INFN grant. The students supported by their University, rather than by INFN, can book directly their room. At the link https://agenda.infn.it/internalPage.py?pageId=6&confId=12522 there is a list of structures and prices.
NON-Italian undergraduates: There is a 250€ fee. Reductions can be obtained for group of students from the same university. The fee will cover the attendance to the lectures, afternoon tutorials, coffee breaks and lunches and the social dinner. The school will provide a card for the University canteen where the students can have dinner. Cost is about 5euro per meal. Rooms can be booked directly, at the link https://agenda.infn.it/internalPage.py?pageId=6&confId=12522 there is a list of structures and prices.
For graduates (PhD) and senior participants there is a fee of 150,00€ covering coffee breaks, lunches and the social dinner. These participants are in general not expected to follow the tutorials.
The visit to EGO-VIRGO facility will be offered by the school organizers to ALL participants.
The maximum number of participants is 150. Priority will be given to undergraduates.
we are happy to announce the opening of the registration for the Third Pisa Summer School which will be held at the Aula Magna of the Polo Didattico Fibonacci of the University of Pisa 22-26 July 2019.
