Courses and Events for Physics Students in the United States (USA)

Astronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology,    Probability and Statistics, Game Theory

The target groups are: Master of Science and PhD students and early post- doctoral researchers, both experimentalists and theorists. More experienced researchers may apply, but will be considered only on a fully-self-supported basis if numbers and space permit.

direct reaction theory and methods and their applications, reactions of light and heavy-ions from low (near-Coulomb barrier), energies through intermediate and relativistic energies (of 100 MeV/nucleon and greater).

Nuclear Physics,    High Energy Physics, Particles and Fields

The TSRC Summer School on Fundamental Science for Alternative Energy introduces principles, methods, and approaches relevant to the design of molecular transformations, energy transduction, and current applications for alternative energy. Energy and environment are likely to be key themes that will dominate the way science and engineering develop over the next few decades. Only an interdisciplinary approach can be expected to succeed in the face of problems of such difficulty hence the team-taught structure of the TSRC Summer School. We hope this course will inspire a new generation of scientists to continue work in the field, or at least to have something of an insider’s point of view as the field develops in the next few decades.

Summer/Winter Schools and Events for Chemistry Students,    Applied Physics

The School is jointly conducted by Argonne National Laboratory's Communications, Education, and Public Affairs Division; Advanced Photon Source and Materials Science Division; and Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Neutron Scattering and Materials Science an

The main purpose of the National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering is to educate graduate students in the use of major neutron and X-ray facilities. Lectures, presented by researchers from academia, industry, and national laboratories, will include basic tutorials on the principles of scattering theory and the characteristics of the sources, as well as seminars on the application of scattering methods to a variety of scientific subjects. Students will conduct short experiments at Argonne's Advanced Photon Source and at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Spallation Neutron Source and High Flux Isotope Reactor, which provides hands-on experience using neutron and synchrotron sources.

Applied Physics: Neutron Scattering,    Applied Physics: X-rays, Synchrotron Radiation and Crystallography

Astronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology,    Plasma and Gas-discharge Physics, Nuclear Fusion

The Experimental Physics Academy focuses on modern physics, specifically mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum dynamics and astrophysics, with an aim to provide hands-on experience and laboratory work within Penn’s vast research facilities. With time to experiment with advanced hardware and settings, students move past memorized equations to gain an understanding of cause and effect, and ultimately an appreciation of physics on a higher level.

Boulder School 2019: Theoretical Biophysics

Condensed Matter Physics and Materials,    Applied Physics: Biophysics, Medical Physics

Applied Physics: X-rays, Synchrotron Radiation and Crystallography ,    Condensed Matter Physics: Semiconductors

NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR), USA

The school will focus on techniques that employ long wavelength neutrons to achieve high energy resolution, enabling the study of dynamical processes over a wide range of time scales, from ~100 ns to ~1 ps. Participants will have the opportunity to use three of the following 5 neutron instruments: disk chopper spectrometer (DCS), backscattering spectrometer (HFBS), spin echo spectrometer (NSE), BT7 double focusing thermal triple-axis spectrometer, the multi-axis crystal spectrometer (MACS).

Applied Physics: Neutron Scattering,    Condensed Matter Physics and Materials

The Optical Society (OSA)

The Siegman International School is a week-long program that exposes students to in-depth learning of lasers and their applications from internationally recognized academic and industry leaders in the field. The scope includes all aspects of lasers and photonics. Each summer, The Siegman International School on Lasers invites up to 100 graduate students for a week-long program to learn from pioneering laser researchers and experts from leading laser companies, highly-regarded professors and fellow students. Attendees are asked to present their own research, which provides invaluable experience in building exposure for their work.
