Workshop: Selected Topics in Field Theory, High Energy Physics & Cosmology, Kathmandu, Nepal, May 22-June 7, 1994

该项目提供2万美元，支持最多10名美国顶尖科学家参加1994年5月22日至6月7日在尼泊尔加德满都举办的区域暑期学校/物理研讨会。主题是“场论、高能物理和宇宙学专题选择”。它的目的是：1)汇集来自南亚BCSPIN国家的一些最聪明的年轻物理学家，2)展示他们研究领域的最新进展，3)强调跨越场论、高能物理学和宇宙学的丰富而令人兴奋的前沿。涵盖的主题包括：场理论高级主题导论，场理论中的异常和拓扑，标准模型粒子物理的测试，超对称，宇宙学/天体物理学前沿，包括结构形成，黑洞物理和相关领域。办学范围：建立卓越学院将有助于亚洲科学的发展，并将大大加强亚洲年轻研究人员的科学潜力。如果没有这样的学校提供的机会，大多数学生是不可能接触到如此杰出的科学家的。以前的学校受到高度评价，最优秀的学生无疑最终将丰富美国的科学。＊＊＊

9312175 Shafi Description: This project provides $20,000 to support the participation of up to ten leading U.S. scientists at a regional Summer School/Workshop in Physics, Kathmandu, Nepal, May 22-June 7, 1994. The theme is "Selected Topics in Field Theory, High Energy Physics and Cosmology." Its aim is to: 1) bring together some of the brightest young physicists from the BCSPIN countries of South Asia, 2) present the most recent advances in their fields of research and 3) emphasize the rich and exciting frontiers that straddle Field Theory, High Energy Physics and Cosmology. The topics covered include: Introduction to Advanced Topics in Field Theory, Anomaly and Topology in Field Theory, Tests of the Standard Model Particle Physics, Supersymmetry, Frontiers in Cosmology/Astrophysics, including Structure Formation, Black Hole Physics and Related Areas. Scope: The establishment of a school of excellence will contribute to the growth of science in Asia and will greatly strengthen the scientific potential of young researchers there. Without the opportunity given by a school of this kind, it is unlikely that the majority of the students would ever have exposure to such outstanding scientists. Previous schools have been highly regarded and the best students will no doubt eventually enrich American science. ***
