Eighth Summer School on Exotic Beam Physics; Berkeley, CA

该奖项为参加劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室第七届奇异光束物理暑期学校的学生提供支持，该暑期学校将于2009年8月3-8日举行。该学院为研究生、积极参与研究的大四本科生和博士后(在获得学位后2年内)而设计。学校将由上午的讲座和下午的实践活动组成。学生们还将有机会展示他们的研究成果。暑期班的目的是培养未来的科学家，以便社区有足够的人力有效地使用稀有同位素束设施(FRIB)上线。在未来几年里，低能核物理的实质性进展将对社会产生广泛影响，从我们对元素起源的理解到加强国家安全。这一进展的一个重要因素将是将原子核的研究扩展到同位旋的新区域。这将需要新的放射性离子束设施，以及先进的多探测器阵列和质谱仪。

This award provides support for students to participate in the Seventh Summer School on Exotic Beam Physics at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, August 3-8, 2009. The school is designed for graduate students, senior undergraduate students who are actively involved in research, and postdocs (within 2 years of their degree). The school will consist of morning lectures and hands-on activities in the afternoons. Students will also have an opportunity to present their research. The aim of the summer school is to nurture future scientists so that the community will have sufficient manpower to effectively use Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) when it comes online. In years to come, substantial progress in low-energy nuclear physics will have a broad impact on society, ranging from our understanding of the origin of the elements to the enhancement of national security. An important element in this progress will be to extend the study of nuclei into new domains of isospin. This will require new radioactive ion beam facilities, together with advanced multi-detector arrays and mass spectrometers.
