School on Astroparticle and Underground Science located at the Asilomar Conference Grounds; Monterey, California; September 4-8, 2013

该补助金提供资金支持将于2013年9月4日至8日在加州蒙特雷的Asilomar会议场地举行的天体粒子和地下科学学校，紧接在2013年天体粒子和地下物理主题国际会议（TAUP-13）之前。粒子天体物理学领域是一个广泛的领域，从暗物质及其探测到中微子物理学和天体物理学，宇宙射线物理学和引力波物理学。 该学院的目的是为初级物理学家提供该领域的广泛视角，如领先的理论家和实验学家所提出的那样。 参与者还将有机会与该领域的领先物理学家讨论他们自己的研究，并准备关于他们工作的海报演示。 这次活动也将有助于建立一个真正的“社区”的初级物理学家谁是在这个领域的工作。 通过在TAUP-13会议之前举办这次活动，我们希望TAUP会议将有助于吸引参与者（无论是高级讲师还是初级参与者）到学校来，并为初级参与者提供接触该领域前沿研究的额外奖励。这项活动将产生更广泛的影响。NSF对该活动的支持将使年轻的研究人员（研究生和博士后研究员）能够以较低的差旅费参加。学生和博士后的参与将加强他们的教育和促进他们的研究。它将允许物理学家在职业生涯的不同阶段进行面对面的互动，允许所有人在非正式环境中建立网络，使他们能够分享想法并建立个人联系，并为年轻的研究人员提供机会，通过展示他们的研究来展示自己的专业知识。

This grant provides funds to support a School on Astroparticle and Underground Science to be held September 4-8, 2013, at the Asilomar Conference Grounds, Monterey, California, immediately preceding the 2013 International Conference on Topics in Astroparticle and Underground Physics (TAUP-13).The field of particle astrophysics is a broad one, stretching from dark matter and its detection to neutrino physics and astrophysics, cosmic-ray physics, and the physics of gravitational waves. The purpose of this School is to provide junior physicists with a broad perspective on the field, as presented by leading theorists and experimentalists. The participants will also have the opportunity to discuss their own research with leading physicists in the field, and to prepare poster presentations on their work. This event will also help to build a true "community" of junior physicists who are working in this field. By holding this event immediately prior to the TAUP-13 Conference, it is hoped that the TAUP conference will help attract participants to the school (both in terms of senior lecturers and junior participants) and also provide an added bonus in providing the junior participants with exposure to cutting-edge research in the field.This activity will have significant broader impacts. NSF support of this event will enable young researchers (graduate students and postdoctoral fellows) to attend at reduced travel expense. Participation by students and post-docs will enhance their education and promote their research. It will permit face-to-face interactions between physicists at different stages in their careers, allow all to network in an informal setting, enable them to share ideas and establish personal contacts, and provide younger researchers the opportunity to exhibit their own expertise through presentations of their research.
