Summer School on Nuclear and Particle Astrophysics: Connecting Quarks with the Cosmos

这项拨款将支持一个新的暑期学校，重点是核和粒子天体物理学和宇宙学-以下主题阐述了国家研究理事会的报告“连接夸克与宇宙。“学校将于2009年6月29日至7月10日在华盛顿州西雅图的华盛顿大学校园举行为期两周的会议。拟议中的学校将涵盖理论，实验和观察，并将欢迎来自所有这些领域的学生：目标是为学生提供该领域前沿问题的广泛概述。该计划旨在理论和实验之间以及对基础天体物理学感兴趣的领域之间取得良好的平衡。目标受众包括高级研究生和博士后研究人员。学校的课程围绕六个主题组织 * 宇宙学和早期宇宙 * 结构的形成和演化 * 高能天体物理学 * 超新星和核合成 * 引力和引力波 * 中微子物理学和天体物理学PI正在寻求华盛顿大学的特殊支持，以帮助从代表性不足的群体中招募参与者。

This grant will support a new summer school focused on the nuclear andparticle astrophysics and cosmology - following themes expounded in the NationalResearch Council's report "Connecting Quarks with the Cosmos." The school will be held over the two-week period June 29-July 10, 2009, on the campus of the University of Washington in Seattle, WA. The proposed school will cover theory, experiment, and observation, and will welcome students from all of these areas: the goal is to provide the students with a broad overview of the forefront problems in the field. The program is being designed to strike good balances between theory and experiment, and among the fields interested in fundamental astrophysics. The target audience includes advanced graduate students and beginning postdoctoral researchers. The school's program has been organized around six subjects* Cosmology and the early universe* Formation and evolution of structure* High energy astrophysics* Supernovae and nucleosynthesis* Gravity and gravitational waves* Neutrino physics and astrophysicsThe PI's are seeking special University of Washington support to help in the recruitment of participants from under-represented groups.
