National Nuclear Physics Summer School

国家核物理暑期学校自1988年以来每年举办一次，是核物理界的一项努力，目的是使学生熟悉该领域的前沿问题以及核物理研究人员可以使用的实验和理论方法。其目的是扩大学生对该领域的欣赏和兴趣，同时也加强他们在技术上的能力。通常，该领域的大部分主要方向都出现在讲座中：热的和冷的核物质、电磁物理、弱相互作用、天体物理和核结构。高级研究生和初级博士后研究人员是目标受众。学校的组织者负责从理论和实验中寻找优秀的讲师，以鼓励讨论和互动的方式管理学校，并开发辅助材料，包括在线讲座档案，可以作为参与的学生和其他对核物理现状感兴趣的人的长期参考。学校组织者得到首席调查人员和美国物理学会核物理部指定的指导委员会的协助。这所学校往往是学生认识到核物理的广度并跨子领域互动的第一个机会。因此，国家核物理暑期学校代表了一项社区建设活动，为学生提供了与该领域的领先研究人员互动和与同龄人建立网络的绝佳机会。学生们离开学校时拥有更强的核物理背景，并对他们选择的专业有了新的了解。由于讲课保存在一个在线档案中，当学生在随后的培训和研究中有需要时，可以返回到这些材料。学生有机会发表演讲，从而获得向不同听众发表演讲的经验。

The National Nuclear Physics Summer School, held annually since 1988, is an effort by the nuclear physics community to acquaint students with the forefront issues of the field and with the experimental and theoretical methods available to nuclear physics researchers. The intent is to broaden student appreciation for and interest in the field, while also strengthening them technically. Typically most of the field's major directions are represented in the lectures: hot and cold nuclear matter, electromagnetic physics, weak interactions, astrophysics, and nuclear structure. Advanced graduate students and beginning postdoctoral researchers are the target audience. School organizers are charged with identifying outstanding lecturers from theory and experiment, conducting the school in a manner that encourages discussion and interaction, and developing supporting materials, including an online archive of lectures that can serve as a long-term reference for participating students and for others who are interested in the current status of nuclear physics. School organizers are assisted by the Principal Investigators and by a Steering Committee appointed by the Division of Nuclear Physics of the American Physical Society. The school is often the first opportunity for students to recognize the breadth of nuclear physics and to interact across subfields. As such, the National Nuclear Physics Summer School represents a community-building activity that provides students with excellent opportunities to interact with leading researchers in the field and to network with their peers. Students leave the school with stronger backgrounds in nuclear physics, and with new knowledge of their chosen specialties. As the lectures are preserved in an on-line archive, the students can return to this material when a need arises during their subsequent training and research. Students are given a chance to present talks and thus to gain experience in making presentations to a diverse audience.
