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

这个美国-巴西奖将帮助资助美国和几个发展中国家的学生前往参加2003年国际未来加速器委员会基本粒子物理仪器学校/讲习班。 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Itacuruca岛上举行。 该学院由威斯康星州麦迪逊大学的Marleigh Sheaff博士和巴西里约热内卢的Centro de Pesquisas Fisicas（CBPF）的Joao dos Anjos教授共同组织，其目标是鼓励发展中国家物理学家在其本国机构的仪器技能，并促进美国物理学家在职业生涯的早期阶段与世界其他地方的同行之间的合作。预计该讲习班将为来自西半球的研究人员提供对粒子、核、医学和其他物理学分支学科有用的仪器技术。该系列的前九个学校/讲习班已在欧洲、亚洲和美洲举办。 这项活动有助于促进未来可能的研究和合作，在基本粒子物理学之间的年轻的美国-来自发展中国家的研究人员和青年研究人员。 该学院讨论的仪器仪表在医学和工业过程中的应用包括成像，快速通信和大量数据采集和检索。 该奖项由国际科学与工程办公室的美洲项目和物理学系的基本粒子物理项目资助。

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.
