LRT 2015: Junior and Under-Represented Researcher Participation Support. Workshop at the University of Washington's Husky Union Building (HUB).

该奖项将为初级和代表性不足的研究人员提供支持，以参加 2015 年 3 月 18 日至 20 日在华盛顿大学赫斯基联合大楼 (HUB) 举行的第五届低放射性技术 (LRT) 研讨会。该研讨会特别关注早期职业科学家、研究生和代表性不足的研究人员。该研讨会对于这些年轻科学家的教育非常重要，不仅因为他们听到的讲座，还因为他们可以直接与更有经验的讲师科学家进行交流。LRT 研讨会的重点是增强和扩展辐射测量技术和罕见事件搜索的方法和技术，这些技术和罕见事件搜索可能由于普遍存在和/或自然发生的干扰背景放射性的存在而限制灵敏度。研讨会的科学主题包括暗物质、太阳中微子、双β衰变和长半衰期现象。

This award will provide support for junior and under-represented researchers to participate in the Fifth Low Radioactivity Techniques (LRT) Workshop at the University of Washington's Husky Union Building (HUB) on March 18-20, 2015.This workshop has a particular focus on early career scientists, graduate students and under-represented researchers. The workshop is important in the education of such young scientists not only because of the lectures they listen to, but also because they can directly communicate with the more experienced scientists who are the lecturers.The LRT Workshop is focused on methods and techniques to enhance and extend radiometric measurement techniques and rare event searches that could be limited in sensitivity due to the presence of interfering background radioactivity that is ubiquitous and/or naturally occurring. The workshop science topics include dark matter, solar neutrinos, double-beta decay, and long half-life phenomena.
