U.S.-Turkey Workshop: ICFA- Second School/Workshop at the Center for Instrumentation in Istanbul June-July 2005

项目描述：该项目支持将在土耳其伊斯坦布尔的伊斯坦布尔技术大学(ITU)仪器中心举办的第二届初级粒子物理仪器技术学院/研讨会。研讨会将于2005年6月18日至7月1日举行。美国组织者是麦迪逊威斯康星大学高级科学家、国际未来加速器委员会(ICFA)成员Marleigh Sheaff博士和Fermilab和UCLA的Muzaffer Atac博士。土耳其的同行是伊斯坦布尔技术大学的马哈穆特·霍塔克苏博士，他是该中心的主任。阿塔克博士是该中心的科学和技术顾问。技术优点：仪器中心是一个永久性设施，定期向主要来自土耳其的研究生提供讲座课程和实验室练习，但也有来自其他邻近国家的研究生，包括非洲、近东和南亚(ANESA)地区的研究生。来自美国的学生和一些来自ANESA国家的学生将被支持参加研讨会。其目标是鼓励发展中国家的年轻物理学家更多地参与基本粒子物理实验，促进本国机构今后在探测器开发方面的举措，并鼓励这些国家的物理学家今后在实验粒子物理实验方面开展合作。该中心由国际电信联盟和土耳其科学机构TUBITAK提供支持。对于这次讲习班，更多的实验室将在当地组织，因为土耳其的组织者承担了更多在中心管理学校/讲习班的责任。其他几所土耳其大学预计也将参与该中心。这个学校/研讨会将有一个与ICFA学校/研讨会非常相似的项目，每两年在不同的地点举行一次。广泛影响：该项目帮助美国研究生与来自几个国家的研究生一起参加需要国际合作的重要物理方面的培训。东道国承担了讲习班费用的很大一部分。土耳其是举办这一研讨会的合适地点，因为它位于欧洲和亚洲之间，而且靠近非洲，特别值得从非洲吸引学生。该中心将为在整个地区从事物理仪器工作的物理学家提供一个地方，他们可以在持续的基础上进行进一步的培训和在线问题帮助。第一次研讨会受到了学生们的好评，导致土耳其物理学家承担了越来越多的管理中心学校的责任。在这个培训研讨会期间，美国学生前往发展中国家并与来自发展中国家的学生一起工作，会带来社会学上的好处。这项活动不仅使学生参与者受益，也使更广泛的物理界受益。在所有讲座和讲座中，除了注册参加研讨会的学生外，总是有许多当地物理学家参加。来自ANESA地区的五名学生目前正在美国继续他们的物理教育，这是与伊斯坦布尔中心第一学校的美国PI接触的结果。

The workshop will take place from June 18-July 1, 2005. The U.S. organizers 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. The Turkish counterpart is Dr. Mahmut Hortacsu of Istanbul Technical University, Director of the Center. Dr. Atac is the Scientific and Technical Advisor for the Center. Technical Merit: The Center for Instrumentation is a permanent facility where lecture courses and lab exercises are offered on a regular basis to graduate students mainly from Turkey but also from other nearby countries including those in the Africa, Near East and South Asia (ANESA) region. Students from the U.S. A. and some from the ANESA countries will be supported to participate in the workshop. The goals are to encourage increased participation by young physicists from developing countries in elementary particle physics (EPP) experiments, to foster future initiatives in detector development at their home institutions and to encourage future collaborations in experimental EPP involving the physicists from these countries. Support for the center is provided by the ITU and by TUBITAK, the Turkish science agency. For this Workshop, more of the laboratories will be organized locally, as The Turkish organizers are taking on more of the responsibility for running the schools/workshops at the Center. Several other Turkish Universities are expected to participate in the center. This school/workshop will have a very similar program to the ICFA Schools/Workshops held every two years in a different location.Broader Impacts: This project helps US graduate students to participate in training with graduate students from several foreign countries, in important aspects of physics that require international collaboration. The host country is carrying a significant part of the cost of the workshop. Turkey is a suitable host for this workshop because of its location between Europe and Asia, and the proximity to Africa, from which it is especially desirable to attract students. The center will provide physicists working throughout the region on physics instrumentation, many of them in isolation, with a place they can turn to on an ongoing basis for further training and online help with questions. The first workshop was well received by the students, and has resulted in Turkish physicists taking on more and more of the responsibility of running the schools at the Center. There are sociological benefits for US students traveling to and working with students from developing countries during this training workshop. This activity benefits not only the student participants but also the broader physics community. There are always a number of local physicists in addition to the students registered for the workshop in attendance at all the lectures and talks. Five students from the ANESA region are currently furthering their physics education in the U. S. as the result of contacts made with the U. S. PI's at the First School at the Istanbul Center.
