[Cuga] NuSTEC School 2017 – Now open for Applications- a message from Luis Alvarez Ruso

[Lorelei Chopard]

Dear Colleagues,

The Neutrino Scattering Theory Experiment Collaboration (NuSTEC) School 
on Neutrino Nucleus Scattering Physics, to be held at Fermilab 7-15 
November 2017, is now open for application.

The primary goal of the NuSTEC School is to provide a focused 
introduction to both the nuclear and particle physics of 
neutrino-nucleon/nucleus scattering, a topic of increasing importance 
for the current and future neutrino oscillation experiments.  The 
lectures will be delivered by internationally recognized experts in the 
field and will cover such topics as strong and electroweak interactions 
in nuclei, methods for calculating scattering in nuclei, final state 
interactions, connections with electron scattering, approaches to 
estimating scattering systematic uncertainties in oscillation 
experiments, and monte carlo simulation methods and tools.  A more 
complete description of the courses may be found on the School web page.

The training program will be 9 days long including a free day at the 
halfway point. The training is based on immersion with close 
participant-lecturer contact. A training day will consist of four 1-hour 
lectures and a 1.5 hour long recitation session encouraging 
questions/discussions on all of the day's lectures. Although this 
training is ideally suited for experimental and theoretical advanced 
graduate students and young postdocs, many more-senior researchers may 
find these lectures informative and are welcome to participate.


A registration fee of $350 for all participants will cover lunches and 
coffee breaks as well as general supplies and transportation support.  
For participants needing a hotel, $750 covers 10 nights in a shared 
double room (single available for additional fee) as well as breakfast. 
Primarily for those staying in the hotel, NuSTEC offers a limited number 
of partial support grants. If you would like to apply for this support, 
please follow the instructions on the application form.

For further information, including details of the planned lectures and 
application procedures, please refer to the School website:

The application deadline for those needing a hotel and / or applying for 
financial aid is 15 September, otherwise the deadline is 15 October. 
Those applicants who will need to obtain a visa are encouraged to apply 
as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

The NuSTEC School Organizers
