The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst will host its third annual summer school on Physical Mathematics of Quantum Field Theory during the week of June 10 - 14, 2024. The aim of the workshop is to introduce young researchers on the boundary between mathematics and physics to recent ideas in classical and quantum field theory using notions from complex geometry and algebraic topology. The target audience of the workshop is advanced graduate students and post-docs, from both mathematics and theoretical physics. The schedule will be designed to include a large amount of time for participants to interact. We hope especially to encourage conversations between mathematicians and physicists.

Center for High Resolution Neutron Scattering (CHRNS)

This year's summer school is devoted to methods and applications of small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and neutron reflectometry (NR) techniques. The school is targeted at those with little or no previous experience with neutron scattering methods. The combination of introductory lectures and training in scattering techniques will provide participants with a unique opportunity to become familiar with neutron scattering methods and their application to current research topics.

In this summer school, we will discuss a variety of theoretical approaches for computing nuclear reaction observables. We plan to introduce some of the most utilized reaction methods, namely the eikonal approximation, DWBA, ADWA, CDCC and Faddeev methods. This 3-day course will be useful for both theorists and experimentalists interested in learning the fundamentals of reaction methods. This will also be a wonderful opportunity for the participants to start collaborations with each other or the instructors on projects beyond the duration of summer school. Please join us in East Lansing this summer to explore a wide range of theoretical approaches to describe nuclear reactions.
