The 25th TRIUMF Summer Institute (TSI) will be held July 13-24, 2015. This year's TSI will give experimental and theoretical graduate students and young researchers a practical course on modern methods and challenges in the theory for exploring experiments on nuclear structure and reactions involving light to medium-mass nuclei. TSI 2015 will focus on the basics of the methods used to solve the quantum mechanical many-body problem as well as the main ways of confronting predictions with experimental measurements.
The TRIUMF Summer Institute is designed to be very interactive with ample time for questions and discussions. During the two weeks of the TSI, the afternoons will be dedicated to hands-on problem solving to help digest the physics of the lectures. TSI 2015 is designed to be accessible to students working in either experimental or theoretical physics. Prospective participants are expected to be familiar with basic quantum mechanics and elementary programming.
Participants are invited to present their research in a poster session. Participation is normally limited to 40 students. |
