US-Korea Workshop: International Cooperation in Particle, Nuclear and Astrophysics Research

我们建议于2012年4月16-17日在韩国首尔举办一次关于粒子、核和天体物理学研究的美韩联合研讨会。本次研讨会将紧接着韩国物理学会（KPS）春季会议。这次研讨会将汇集来自美国和韩国的40多名粒子物理学、核物理学和天体物理学领域的领先研究人员、博士后和研究生。这将为这些团体提供一个机会，就韩国计划建造重离子加速器、韩国稀有同位素加速器（KorIA）和基础科学研究所（BSI）作为国际科学商业带（ISBB）的一部分展开长期合作&。这次研讨会将及时汇集来自学术界、实验室、和工业界讨论未来在粒子，核和天体物理学研究方面的合作。它可以帮助制定一个近期和长期计划，使Koria成为一个世界级的设施，使全世界的科学家受益。参与的研究生和博士后将受益于接触国际公认的领导人在该领域，这将有助于他们的职业发展。由此产生的合作将使两国的学生参与进来，并促进他们的积极交流。医学成像和辐射探测技术等其他领域无疑将受益于加速器和探测器开发的进步。代表性不足的群体，如科学界的妇女，将积极参与这一讲习班。

We propose to hold a US-Korea joint workshop on Particle, Nuclear and Astrophysics Research in Seoul, Korea on April 16-17, 2012. This workshop will immediately precede the Korean Physical Society (KPS) Spring meeting. This workshop would bring together over 40 leading researchers, postdocs and graduate students in particle physics, nuclear physics and astrophysics from across the U.S. and Korea. It would provide an opportunity for these communities to initiate long-term collaborations regarding the Korean plan to construct a heavy ion accelerator, KoRIA (Korea Rare Isotope Accelerator) and a Basic Science Institute (BSI) as part of the International Science & Business Belt (ISBB).This workshop will serve as a timely event to bring together U.S. and Korean researchers from academia, laboratories, and industries for discussion of future collaborations in Particle, Nuclear and Astrophysics research. It can help develop a near and long-term plan for KoRIA to serve as a world-class facility that would benefit scientists world-wide. Participating graduate students and post-docs will benefit from exposure to internationally recognized leaders in the field, which will help their career development. The resulting collaborations would involve students in both countries and promote their active exchanges. Other areas such as medical imaging and radiation detection technology will undoubtedly benefit from advancement in the accelerator and detector development. Under-represented groups such as women in science will be actively involved in this workshop.
