26th Vietnam School of Physics: PARTICLES AND DARK MATTER

Starts: 29 November, 2020

Ends: 11 December, 2020

Address:

07 Science Avenue, Ghenh Rang, Quy Nhon, Binh Dinh, Vietnam

Summary:

The VSOP-26 is organized by Rencontres du Vietnam (RdV), ICISEIFIRSE.

This school belongs to a series of schools originating from a school created in 1994 by Nguyen Van Hieu and Tran Thanh Van and funded by Rencontres du Vietnam. It became an international school in 1995 with participation of Vietnamese and foreign students. The school is also funded by the Asia-Pacific Centre for Theoretical Physics (APCTP), Pohang, Korea, as an external activity.

The 26th VSOP will be devoted to particle physics and dark matter, both theory and experiment. In addition to fundamental knowledge of Quantum Field Theory and the Standard Model (SM), the lectures will cover theories beyond the SM, dark matter, experimental methods for collider searches at the LHC, Monte Carlo methods, and machine learning.

Location: ICISE center, located by the sea and surrounded by mountains, about 6km from the city of Quy Nhon. The lecture hall is mostly on the second floor, equipped with a video projector, a blackboard, audio system, wireless connection. ICISE has a nice, quiet campus with palm trees and a beautiful beach.

Applicants: Master/PhD students and young researchers are welcome to apply for participation in the VSOP-26. Senior bachelor students (i.e. third or fourth year students), who have taken a quantum-field-theory or particle-physics course, are also encouraged to apply.

Financial Support: Some financial support will be possible for participants from developing countries, see the application form. Priority will be given to students and junior researchers from the Asia-Pacific region.
