US-Nepal Workshop: Current Trends in High-Energy Physics and Cosmology

9604877沙菲派描述：该奖项将支持多达10名美国顶尖科学家和高级研究生参加1997年5月19日至6月3日在尼泊尔加德满都的BCSPIN(孟加拉国、中国、斯里兰卡、巴基斯坦、印度和尼泊尔)地区物理学校的活动。主题是“高能物理和宇宙学的当前趋势”。将介绍高能物理和宇宙学中的许多前沿课题。除核心讲座外，还将建立讨论小组，以便参与“前沿”研究和启动合作。BCSPIN的主要目标是提供一个激励环境，让来自BCSPIN国家的最聪明的学生、博士后和教职员工能够接触到领先的物理学家，特别是来自美国的物理学家：建立一所卓越的物理学院将提高南亚地区对这一领域的兴趣，并将极大地增强那里年轻研究人员的科学潜力。如果没有这样一所学校提供的机会，大多数学生不太可能接触到如此杰出的科学家。以前的学校一直很受推崇，最好的学生无疑最终会丰富美国的科学。BCSPIN得到了由特里斯特国际理论物理中心提供的大量资金的多国支持。该奖项由国际项目部和物理部共同资助。***

9604877 Shafi Description: This award will support the participation of up to ten leading U.S. scientists and advanced graduate students at the BCSPIN (Bangladesh, China, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, India, Nepal) regional Physics School in Kathmandu, Nepal from May 19-June 3, 1997. The subject matter is "Current Trends in High Energy Physics and Cosmology". Many of the leading topics in high energy physics and cosmology will be presented. In addition to the core set of lectures, discussion groups will be created enabling participation in "cutting edge" research and the initiation of collaborations. The major goal of BCSPIN is to provide a stimulating environment in which the brightest student, postdocs and faculty from the BCSPIN countries can come in to contact with leading physicists, particularly from the U.S. Scope: The establishment of a school of excellence in physics will enhance interest in this field in the South Asia region and will greatly strengthen the scientific potential of young researchers there. Without the opportunity given by a school of this kind, it is unlikely that the majority of the students would ever have exposure to such outstanding scientists. Previous schools have been highly regarded and the best students will no doubt eventually enrich American science. BCSPIN is supported multinationally with substantial funding provided by the International Center for Theoretical Physics in Triest. This award is jointly funded by the Division of International Programs and the Division of Physics. ***
