Courses and Events for Physics Students in Italy

Electron dynamics governs a wide range of important effects in nanoscience. Nanoclusters, as important testbed systems for exploring and developing quantum size effects, novel materials, and reaction pathways, exhibit a range of phenomena which are highly sensitive to electron mobility, response, transfer, emission and attachment, direct and exchange interactions, correlations, etc. The aim of the present workshop is to bring together researchers in adjacent fields in order to examine recent and future developments and to enhance the connection between different branches of research. To keep the discussion focused, it will concentrate on free clusters and related systems.

The school is aimed mainly at advanced master students/ PhD students/ early postdocs in Cosmology. It will cover both theoretical and observational aspects of modern cosmology.

The 12th Course of the International School of Radiation Damage and Protection will be held at "Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture" in Erice (Sicily), Italy, from the 9th April until the 16th April 2022. The objective of this course is to update the knowledge of both professionals and newcomers in the field of radiation damage and activation of accelerator components. It gives a summary of fundamental quantities and concepts and provides an overview on computational and experimental methods for the assessment of radiation damage of materials and electronics, as well as activation properties of construction materials. The course puts also emphasis on applications and lessons learned at high-energy accelerators, experiments and high power target facilities. Moreover, it addresses synergies with other areas such as light sources and space radiation applications.

The Course is organized within the EMFCSC International School of Nonequilibrium Phenomena. The aim of the School is to give a broad overview of the current understanding of the phenomenon of 1/f noise in condensed matter physics, with emphasis on its role in nanodevices for quantum information processing, quantum communications, and in material science.

To keep the discussion focused, it will concentrate on free clusters and related systems. The program will include invited talks, selected oral presentations, a poster session and ample time for individual discussions. It is especially hoped that graduate and diploma students, postdoctoral researchers, and anyone who is interested in the interdisciplinary richness of the subject will benefit from the Workshop.

The meeting is being jointly organised by the muon group at the University of Parma in Italy and the ISIS muon group at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK. It will cover all aspects of the use of muon spectroscopy in condensed matter, materials and molecular sciences, while also considering applications of muons in other areas, such as nuclear physics, cultural heritage and the study of single event failures arising from the irradiation of microelectronics.
