US-Turkey Workshop: The First ICFA School/Workshop at the New Center for Instrumentation in Istanbul, June 2002

0218049项目描述：该奖项为2002年6月17-28日在土耳其伊斯坦布尔的伊斯坦布尔技术大学(ITU)新的仪器中心举办的第一所ICFA学校/讲习班提供部分支持。ICFA是未来加速器国际委员会，它每两年在不同地点定期举办一系列仪器设备学校/讲习班。这所学校/研讨会的美国组织者是麦迪逊威斯康星大学高级科学家、国际未来加速器委员会(ICFA)成员Marleigh Sheaff博士，以及来自Fermilab和加州大学洛杉矶分校的Muzaffer Atac博士和该中心的科学和技术顾问。土耳其的共同组织者是伊斯坦布尔技术大学的马哈穆特·霍塔克苏教授，他也是新中心的主任。仪器中心将是一个永久性设施，将定期向来自土耳其和非洲、近东和南亚地区其他国家的学生提供讲座课程和实验室练习。该中心的第一个研讨会重点是基本粒子物理中的仪器。研讨会的目标是鼓励学生在本国机构开发仪器，并促进物理学家在职业生涯初期的合作。范围：土耳其是举办这次研讨会的合适东道主，因为它位于欧洲和亚洲之间，而且靠近非洲，特别需要从那里吸引学生。仪器仪表中心将为学生回国后提供有关仪器仪表问题的培训和在线帮助。伊斯坦布尔技术大学和土耳其科学技术委员会(TUBITAK)将为新中心提供支持。其他几所土耳其大学预计也会做出贡献。该奖项得到了国际科学与工程办公室和物理系的支持。

0218049 SheaffDescription: This award provides partial support for the first ICFA School/Workshop at the new Center for Instrumentation at Istanbul Technical University (ITU) in Istanbul, Turkey, June 17-28, 2002. ICFA, which is the International Committee on Future Accelerators, has been holding a regular series of instrumentation schools/workshops every two years in different locations. The US organizers for this school/workshop are Dr. Marleigh Sheaff, Senior Scientist Emerita, University of Wisconsin, Madison and member of the International Committee on Future Accelerators (ICFA), and Dr. Muzaffer Atac of Fermilab and UCLA and the Scientific and Technical Advisor for the Center. The Turkish co-organizer is Professor Mahmut Hortacsu of Istanbul Technical University, who is also the Director of the new Center. The Center for Instrumentation will be a permanent facility where lecture courses and lab exercises will be offered on a regular basis to students from Turkey and other countries in the Africa, Near East, and South Asia region. This first workshop at the Center focuses on instrumentation in elementary particle physics. The goals of the workshop are to encourage the development of instrumentation by the students at their home institutions and to promote collaboration among physicists at early stages in their careers.Scope: Turkey is a suitable host for this workshop because of its location between Europe and Asia and its proximity to Africa, from which it is especially desirable to attract students. The Center for Instrumentation will provide training and online help with questions on instrumentation for the students after they return to their home institutions. Support for the new center will be provided by Istanbul Technical University and by the Turkish Science and Technology Council (TUBITAK). Several other Turkish universities are also expected to contribute. This award is supported by the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Division of Physics.
