Pan-American Advanced Studies Institute (PASI): Sustainability and Green Chemistry; Mexico City, Mexico: October 2006

0616980谢夫这个泛美高级研究所（PASI），由美国国家科学基金会和能源部（DOE）联合支持，将于2006年10月23日至11月8日在墨西哥的瓦拉尔塔港举行，主题是“超越宇宙学，天体粒子和粒子物理学的标准模型（SM）”。该研究所由威斯康星州大学的Marleigh Sheaff博士组织，将有大约29名来自美国和拉丁美洲的参与者，包括研究生和初级和成熟的研究人员，以及大约12名讲师（国际公认的科学家，活跃在该领域）。 活动将包括辅导讲座，高级主题演讲，圆桌讨论和海报会议的组合，为参与者提供这一研究领域的最新回顾。 选择这一专题是基于其及时性和重要性。 许多年轻的粒子物理学家不会意识到宇宙学和天体粒子物理学的最新进展，也不会意识到这些领域与粒子物理学之间的密切联系。 一个主要的目标是为学生参与者注入兴奋，就在前面的加速器能量接近那些迄今为止只在早期宇宙中看到的。广泛的应用程序和材料将赋予该研究所重要的跨学科性质，并应促进新思想的交叉施肥，以推进该领域，并最终增加拉丁美洲初级和高级研究人员与美国同行之间的关系。

0616980SheaffThis Pan-American Advanced Studies Institute (PASI), jointly supported by the NSF and Department of Energy (DOE), will take place in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico from October 23 to November 8, 2006 on the topic of "Beyond the Standard Model (SM) in Cosmology, Astroparticle and Particle Physics". Organized by Dr. Marleigh Sheaff of the University of Wisconsin, the institute will involve approximately 29 participants from the United States and Latin America including graduate students and junior and established investigators, and about 12 instructors (internationally recognized scientists, active in the field). The activities will consist of a combination of tutorial lectures, advanced-topic presentations, round table discussions, and poster sessions, with the goal of providing the participants with an up-to-date review of this field of research. This choice of topic was made based both on its timeliness and its importance. Many young particle physicists will not be aware of the recent advances in cosmology and astroparticle physics or of the close connections between these fields and particle physics. A primary goal is to infuse the student participants with the excitement that lies just ahead as accelerator energies approach those heretofore seen only in the early universe. The wide range of applications and materials will impart a significant interdisciplinary nature to the Institute, and should foster the cross-fertilization of new ideas to advance the field and, ultimately, increase relations between Latin American junior and senior investigators and their counterparts in the U.S.
