TENTH ANNUAL
TRIUMF SUMMER INSTITUTE
Ion and Atom Traps
VANCOUVER, CANADA
August 10 -- AUGUST 21, 1998
The lecturers in 1998 are:
-
N. Fortson , University of Washington, Atomic
PNC and EDM Experiments
-
S. Freedman, Berkeley , Tests of
Fundamental Symmetries
-
J. Behr, TRIUMF, TRIUMF's Neutral Atom
Trapping Project
-
M. Kasevich, Yale University, Precision
Measurements with Laser Cooled Atoms
-
L.A. Orozco , SUNY at Stony Brook, Studies
of trapped radioactive atoms
-
I.S. Towner , Queens University, The
Weak Interaction
-
G. Savard , Argonne National Laboratory,
Ion Traps
This TRIUMF Summer Institute will focus on three related topics roughly
defining an important new area of science: trapping techniques and the
impact of these techniques on fundamental symmetries and on nuclear physics.
Special emphasis will be placed on the use of radioactive or exotic ion
beams and related non-accelerator experiments involving complementary symmetry
tests. Very new and elegant experimental techniques are involved and the
students of the Institute will receive direct exposure to them. The symmetry
issues are crucial for tests of the standard model of quarks, leptons and
the unified forces. The aim of this Institute is to provide a detailed
overview of this whole new field.
To apply to attend the Institute send a letter to TRIUMF Summer Institute
(or electronic mail to SNIT@LIN02.TRIUMF.CA) by June 15, 1998. The letter
should contain the following: name, title(Dr./Mr./Ms.), university, supervisor
(for graduate students), full postal address, and electronic mail address.
You should include a brief academic history and a summary of your current
interests. Graduate students should also have their supervisor send a letter
of recommendation.
There is no registration fee but participants are responsible for the
cost of travel to TRIUMF and for room and board. The estimated cost of
room and board for the two weeks is about $400.00 CDN. We welcome applications
from non-Canadian as well as Canadian students.
