[Cuga] TALENT School on Fundamental Symmetries & Neutrinos- a message from Michael Ramsey-Musolf

[Lorelei Carlson]

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the 2018 TALENT program on Fundamental 
Symmetries & Neutrinos. The Institute for Nuclear Theory will host this 
three week course, July 9-27, 2018. The course is part of the TALENT 
initiative ("Training in Advanced Low-Energy Nuclear Theory") to develop 
a comprehensive program for training in low-energy nuclear theory 
(http://www.nucleartalent.org 
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.nucleartalent.org&d=DwMF-g&c=lz9TcOasaINaaC3U7FbMev2lsutwpI4--09aP8Lu18s&r=OU46hwKVN8VBSEjY1EsfuQ&m=35MNfgKMjDF_Vbn3bSpWeJFVf5wvrBIo_Pr8bxB62d8&s=65W4N1HaKGG4zhz9JkpbboVtR9FeaM4ZLS_aiGsfAw0&e=>).

The 3-week program is intended for theorists who have already completed 
graduate level courses in quantum mechanics. The TALENT initiative aims 
at providing an advanced and comprehensive training to graduate students 
and junior researchers in low-energy nuclear theory.

This course will introduce students to the exciting physics of 
fundamental symmetry tests and neutrino studies in nuclear physics, 
including implications for both the Standard Model and possible physics 
beyond the Standard Model. They primary objectives are:

             • Helping students and early post-docs become aware of the 
open challenges in fundamental symmetries and neutrinos and the broader 
context in which they reside
             • Provide an introduction to some of the relevant 
theoretical methods for students whose interest may be piqued by the 
relevant open problems
             • Enable students to develop appreciation for the questions 
this subfield seeks to address, the motivation for the significant 
experimental efforts underway, and the cross-disciplinary nature of this 
research

The primary lecturers will be Vincenzo Cirigliano (Los Alamos National 
Laboratory) and Michael Ramsey-Musolf (University of Massachusetts 
Amherst). Additional lectures will also be provided by guest seminar 
speakers.

logistics can be found at:

We encourage you to share this information with potential participants, 
including those whose primary research does not fall directly within the 
area of topical focus but who may be interested to become more versed in 
the physics of fundamental symmetries and neutrinos. We strongly 
encourage women and underrepresented minorities to apply.

Best wishes,
Vincenzo Cirigliano (cirigliano at lanl.gov <mailto:cirigliano at lanl.gov>)
