U.S.-Brazil Workshop: ICFA International School/Workshop on Instrumentation in High Energy Physics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, December 2003

这项美国-巴西奖将有助于资助来自美国和几个发展中国家的学生前往即将举行的2003年国际未来加速器委员会(ICFA)基础粒子物理仪器学校/研讨会。该学校将于2003年12月8日至19日在巴西里约热内卢附近的伊塔库鲁卡岛举行。这所学校由威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的Marleigh Sheaff博士和巴西里约热内卢Pesquisas Fisicas中心(CBPF)的Joao dos Anjos教授共同举办，其目标是鼓励发展中国家的物理学家在本国机构学习仪器技能，并促进处于职业生涯早期的美国物理学家与世界其他地方的同行之间的合作。预计这次研讨会将为来自半球的研究人员提供对粒子、核子、医学和其他物理分支学科有用的仪器技能。该系列的前九个学校/研讨会已在欧洲、亚洲和美洲举行。这项活动有助于促进在美国的年轻研究人员和来自发展中国家的年轻研究人员之间未来可能在基本粒子物理学方面的研究和合作。这所学校讨论的仪器在医学和工业过程中的应用包括成像、快速通信和海量数据获取和检索。该奖项由国际科学与工程办公室的美洲计划和物理系的基本粒子物理计划资助。

This U.S.-Brazil award will help to support the travel of students from the United States and several developing countries to the 2003 International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) School/Workshop on Instrumentation in Elementary Particle Physics to be held. The school will be held on the island of Itacuruca near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on December 8-19, 2003. Organized by Dr. Marleigh Sheaff of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, together with Professor Joao dos Anjos of the Centro de Pesquisas Fisicas (CBPF), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the goal of this school is to encourage instrumentation skills by developing-country physicists at their home institutions, and to foster collaboration between U.S. physicists at an early stage in their careers with their peers from elsewhere in the world. It is expected that this workshop will provide researchers from the hemisphere with instrumentation skills useful for particle, nuclear, medical and other subdisciplines of physics.The previous nine schools/workshops in the series have been held in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. This activity helps foster possible future research and collaborations in elementary particle physics between young U.S.-based researchers and young researchers from developing countries. Applications to medicine and industrial processes of the instrumentation discussed in this school include imaging, fast communication, and massive data acquisition and retrieval. This award is funded by the Americas Program in the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Elementary Particle Physics Program in the Division of Physics.
