Support for the 2013 SnowPAC Workshop

资金提供给参与者支持第四届年度雪鸟粒子天体物理学，天文学和宇宙学研讨会（SnowPAC 2013），由物理和天文学的犹他州大学的系组织。该奖项将支持20名无法参加会议的个人参加（通过住宿费用补贴），特别强调扩大年轻研究人员和传统上在天文学和天体物理学中代表性不足的团体的参与。SnowPAC研讨会是一个国际会议，回顾粒子天体物理学，暗物质，暗能量，天文学和宇宙学的最新发展。它旨在建立这些学科之间的新联系，并在这些研究领域的工作人员之间建立新的合作关系。主要的SnowPAC 2013会议将是一个主题会议“黑洞指纹：动力学，破坏人口统计学。“这次会议将联合收割机结合我们目前对黑洞人口统计学知识的探索，讨论未来利用潮汐破坏事件来扩大我们对星系中黑洞人口的知识的前景。本次会议之后将举行一个较小的SnowDARK 2013研讨会，重点关注非WIMP暗物质候选者。

Funds are provided for participant support for the 4th annual Snowbird Workshop on Particle Astrophysics, Astronomy, and Cosmology (SnowPAC 2013), organized by the Department of Physics and Astronomy of The University of Utah. The award will support participation (via lodging cost subsidy) by 20 individuals who would otherwise be unable to attend the meeting, with a particular emphasis on broadening participation by junior researchers and groups traditionally underrepresented in astronomy and astrophysics.The SnowPAC workshop is an international meeting that reviews recent developments in particle astrophysics, dark matter, dark energy, astronomy, and cosmology. It seeks to establish new connections between these disciplines and establish new collaborative ties between individuals working in these research areas.The main SnowPAC 2013 conference will be a topical conference on "Black Hole Fingerprints: Dynamics, Disruptions & Demographics." This conference will combine an exploration of our current knowledge of black hole demographics with a discussion of the future promise of using tidal disruption events to expand our knowledge of the populations of black holes in galaxies. This conference will be followed by a smaller SnowDARK 2013 workshop focusing on non-WIMP dark matter candidates.
