US Students Participation of the 20th Course of ISCRA

宇宙射线天体物理学国际学校（ISCRA）是一个两年一度的暑期学校，旨在通过讲座和与粒子天体物理学专家的非正式讨论，为研究生和年轻的博士后学者提供该领域的概述。 这是世界上唯一一所定期举办的粒子天体物理学暑期学校，它在培养该领域未来的领导者方面有着良好的历史。 第20届ISCRA课程将于2016年8月1日至7日在意大利的Erice举行。 课程的主题是“二十一世纪的粒子、伽玛射线及中微子天体物理学”。“会议将包括讨论新的实验，新的实验结果和对这些结果的新理解，强调天体物理学的多信使方法。 该奖项将支持美国研究生和年轻博士后科学家的参与。 在第20届ISCRA期间讨论的主题包括最高能量粒子和中微子，宇宙射线和伽马射线的气球，卫星和地面测量，中微子水下和冰下观测站，高能辐射在宇宙中的加速和传播，以及不久的将来新的空间或地面实验。 出版会议记录是为了更广泛地传播结果。

The International School of Cosmic Ray Astrophysics (ISCRA) is a biannual summer school designed to provide an overview of the field to graduate students and young postdoctoral scholars through both lectures and informal discussions with Particle Astrophysics experts. This is the only regular Particle Astrophysics summer school in the world and it has an excellent history of training future leaders in the field. The 20th ISCRA course will take place in Erice, Italy, from the 1st to the 7th of August 2016. The theme of the Course is "Particle, Gamma-ray and Neutrino Astrophysics in the 21st Century." The sessions will include discussions of new experiments, new experimental results and the new understanding of those results, emphasizing the multi-messenger approach to astrophysics. This award will support the participation of US graduate students and young postdoctoral scientists. Topics for discussion during the 20th ISCRA include the highest energy particles and neutrinos, balloon, satellite and ground based measurements of cosmic rays and gamma rays, neutrino underwater and under-ice observatories, acceleration and propagation of high-energy radiation through the Universe, and the new space- or ground-based experiments of the near future. Proceedings are published to more broadly disseminate the results.
