Student Support for the "Frontiers of Attosecond and Ultra-fast X-ray Science" School

该奖项为美国学生(在美国大学注册的学生)和美国博士后(受雇于美国大学的博士后研究人员)提供旅行支持，以参加将于2017年3月19日至28日在意大利西西里岛埃赖斯的埃托雷·马约拉纳基金会和科学文化中心举行的“阿托秒和超快X射线科学前沿”学校。该学校的项目将有来自国际专家的阿秒科学和技术讲座。这些讲座将讨论自由电子激光、同步辐射和离子碰撞的基本原理和应用，以研究原子、分子、纳米结构和凝聚态的电子动力学。这些主题是原子、分子和光学物理科学活动的前沿。该学院为学生和博士后提供了一个与来自美国和更广泛的国际社会的资深科学家互动的机会。通过这个奖项，学生和博士后的支持对未来科学家的教育和培训做出了重大贡献。拥有阿秒和超快X射线科学背景的学生和博士后获得了广泛的知识和技能，使他们能够为许多科学和技术领域的进步做出贡献。

This award provides travel support for US students (students enrolled in US universities) and US postdocs (postdoctoral researchers employed at US universities) to participate in the "Frontiers of Attosecond and Ultra-fast X-ray Science" School that will be held during March 19-28, 2017 at the Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture in Erice, Sicily, in Italy. The school program will have lectures from international experts on attosecond science and technology. The lectures will discuss fundamentals and applications of free electron lasers, synchrotron radiation, and ion collisions for studies of electron dynamics in atoms, molecules, nanostructures and condensed matter. These topics are among the forefront of the scientific activities in atomic, molecular, and optical physics. This School offers an opportunity for students and postdocs to interact with senior scientists from the United States and also from a broader international community.The support of students and postdocs through this award makes a substantial contribution to the education and training of future scientists. Students and postdocs with a background in attosecond and ultrafast x-ray science acquire a broad range of knowledge and skills that enable them to contribute to progress in many areas of science and technology.
