Gran Sasso Hands-on is a summer school offering PhD students the unique opportunity of being directly involved in the research project activities at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory of INFN (LNGS), the world-leading laboratory for underground physics, astroparticle physics, and nuclear astrophysics (see the poster, the first bulletin and the second bulletin).
The school is jointly organized by LNGS, the Physics and Chemistry Department of L'Aquila University (DSFC - Univaq) and the Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI).
The hands-on program will focus on:
- General relativity
- Dark matter searches
- Neutrino physics
- Cosmic-ray physics
- Nuclear astrophysics
- Multi-messenger astrophysics
- Space-based detectors
- Quantum technologies
Students will be involved in experimental projects, divided in groups of 1-3 students per activity, under the supervision of the LNGS, GSSI and UnivAq scientists, with the goal of designing and performing a scientific experiment. A series of introductory lectures held by renowned field experts will provide the needed background for the proposed activities.
The selected students will benefit from an outstanding scientific context and will work in a multidisciplinary and multicultural environment. This represents an enriching personal experience and a good opportunity to establish contacts with other students and worldwide scientists.
