US-Turkey Workshop: The First ICFA School/Workshop at the New Center for Instrumentation in Istanbul, June 2002

描述：该奖项为2002年6月17日至28日在土耳其伊斯坦布尔的伊斯坦布尔技术大学（ITU）新仪器中心举办的第一个ICFA学校/研讨会提供部分支持。ICFA，即国际未来加速器委员会，每两年在不同地点定期举办一系列仪器学校/讲习班。本次学校/研讨会的美国组织者是威斯康辛大学麦迪逊分校高级荣誉科学家、未来加速器国际委员会（ICFA）成员Marleigh Sheaff博士，以及费米实验室和加州大学洛杉矶分校的Muzaffer Atac博士，该中心的科学和技术顾问。土耳其的共同组织者是伊斯坦布尔技术大学的Mahmut Hortacsu教授，他也是新中心的主任。该仪器中心将成为一个永久性设施，定期为来自土耳其和非洲、近东和南亚地区其他国家的学生提供讲座课程和实验练习。本中心的第一个研讨会聚焦于基本粒子物理的仪器。研讨会的目标是鼓励学生在他们自己的机构中开发仪器，并促进物理学家在他们职业生涯的早期阶段之间的合作。范围：土耳其是本次研讨会的合适东道主，因为它位于欧洲和亚洲之间，靠近非洲，特别希望吸引来自非洲的学生。仪器中心将为学生提供培训和在线帮助，帮助他们解决仪器方面的问题。新中心将由伊斯坦布尔技术大学和土耳其科学技术委员会（TUBITAK）提供支持。其他几所土耳其大学预计也将作出贡献。该奖项由国际科学与工程办公室和物理系支持。

0218049 SheaffDescription: This award provides partial support for the first ICFA School/Workshop at the new Center for Instrumentation at Istanbul Technical University (ITU) in Istanbul, Turkey, June 17-28, 2002. ICFA, which is the International Committee on Future Accelerators, has been holding a regular series of instrumentation schools/workshops every two years in different locations. The US organizers for this school/workshop are Dr. Marleigh Sheaff, Senior Scientist Emerita, University of Wisconsin, Madison and member of the International Committee on Future Accelerators (ICFA), and Dr. Muzaffer Atac of Fermilab and UCLA and the Scientific and Technical Advisor for the Center. The Turkish co-organizer is Professor Mahmut Hortacsu of Istanbul Technical University, who is also the Director of the new Center. The Center for Instrumentation will be a permanent facility where lecture courses and lab exercises will be offered on a regular basis to students from Turkey and other countries in the Africa, Near East, and South Asia region. This first workshop at the Center focuses on instrumentation in elementary particle physics. The goals of the workshop are to encourage the development of instrumentation by the students at their home institutions and to promote collaboration among physicists at early stages in their careers.Scope: Turkey is a suitable host for this workshop because of its location between Europe and Asia and its proximity to Africa, from which it is especially desirable to attract students. The Center for Instrumentation will provide training and online help with questions on instrumentation for the students after they return to their home institutions. Support for the new center will be provided by Istanbul Technical University and by the Turkish Science and Technology Council (TUBITAK). Several other Turkish universities are also expected to contribute. This award is supported by the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Division of Physics.
