High Energy Gamma Ray Astronomy, International Conference, October 2-5, 1990, Ann Arbor, MI, Award in Indian Currency

描述：该项目支持四名印度科学家前往美国参加计划于1990年10月2日至5日在密西西比州安娜堡举行的“高能伽马射线天文学”国际会议。这次会议将审查现在从一些升级的探测器上获得的数据，这些探测器将提供对一些天体物理对象的新视角，例如大力神x1，天鹅座x3，SN1987。会议的主题将包括：来自吸积的双星系统和孤立脉冲星的观测数据；伽马射线产生的理论模型；高能伽马射线的漫射宇宙射线源；伽马射线的暗物质源；结果对基本粒子物理的影响；以及拟议的新的伽马射线和中微子探测器。拟议的印度与会者是资深和知名物理学家，他们应该为会议的讨论做出贡献，并从参与中受益。范围：会议的主题是一个印度科学界活跃的领域。入选的科学家可能会增加美国和印度之间的合作研究，并帮助推动该领域的发展。对他们旅行的支持非常符合美印合作科学计划的目标。资金：Grant PHY89-21708为会议组织提供4,000美元的支持。这一行动为印度科学家的旅行提供了1万美元的印度货币。

Description: This project supports the travel of four Indian scientists to the U.S. to participate in an international conference on "High Energy Gamma Ray Astronomy", planned for October 2 to 5, 1990 in Ann Arbor, MI. The conference will review the data which are now becoming available from a number of upgraded detectors which will provide a new look at a number of astrophysical objects such as Hercules x1, Cygnus x3, SN 1987. Topics of the conference will include: Observational data from accreting binary systems and isolated pulsars; Theoretical models of gamma-ray production; Diffuse cosmic-ray sources of high energy gamma-rays; Dark matter sources of gamma-rays; Implications of results for elementary particle physics; and Proposed new gamma-ray and neutrino detectors. The proposed Indian participants are senior and well-known physicists who should contribute to the discussions in the conference and benefit from the participation. Scope: The topic of the conference is in a field where the Indian scientific community is active. The selected scientists are likely to increase collaborative research between the U.S. and India and to help advance the field. The support of their travel fits well with the objectives of the U.S.-India Cooperative Science Program. Funding: Grant PHY89-21708 provides U.S.$4,000 for support of the conference organization. This action provides $10,000 in Indian currency for the travel of the Indian scientists.
