Theoretical Advanced Study Institute in Elementary Particle Physics; Providence, Rhode Island; June 5-July 1, 1988

TASI-88将于1988年6月5日至7月1日在罗德岛州普罗维登斯的布朗大学举行，为期四周。本次TASI-88的形式和目标与之前在密歇根大学（1984年）、耶鲁大学（1985年）、加州大学圣克鲁斯分校（1986年）和新墨西哥州圣达菲的圣约翰学院校园（1987年）举行的TASI-88非常相似。其目标是提供一系列针对高级研究生的讲座和研讨会。Brown Tasi-88的中心主题将是“粒子、弦和超新星”，主要关注四个组成部分：(1)标准模型物理学、标准模型之外的扩展、超对称、大统一理论等；(2)量子场论的非摄动方面，晶格规范理论，与临界现象的联系等；(3)弦与超弦、共形场论、sigma模型、Riemann曲面上的量子场论；(4)宇宙学与中微子天体物理学、大尺度结构的形成、暗物质及其探测、超新星等。各种专题讨论会将作为主要系列讲座的补充。这个暑期学院将有助于确保选定的美国研究生有机会从专家那里了解所涵盖领域的最新发展。

TASI-88 will be held during the four week period, June 5 to July 1, 1988, at Brown University, Providence, R.I. The format and aims of the proposed Tasi-88 are very similar to those of previous TASI's, held at the University of Michigan (1984), Yale (1985), the University of California at Santa Cruz (1986) and the St. John's College Campus, Santa Fe, New Mexico (1987). The objective is to provide a series of lectures and seminars aimed at advanced graduate students. The central theme of Brown Tasi-88 will be "Particles, Strings and Supernovae", with primary focus on four components: (1) Standard model physics, extensions beyond the standard model, supersymmetry, GUTS, etc.; (2) nonperturbative aspects of quantum field theories, lattice gauge theories, connection to critical phenomena, etc.; (3) string and superstring, conformal field theories, Sigma-model, quantum field theory on Riemann surfaces; (4) cosmology and neutrino-astrophysics, formation of large scale structure, dark matter and its detection, supernovae, etc. Seminars on a variety of special topics will supplement the main lecture series. This summer institute will help ensure that selected U.S. graduate students have the opportunity to learn first hand, from experts, of the latest developments in the areas covered.
