The particle cosmology group in the Department of Astronomy at the University of Science and Technology of China will host a special school in November of 2018 in the east campus of USTC. All undergraduate and graduate students in the field of particle cosmology, high energy astrophysics as well as theoretical physics are most welcome to join us.
We will have Professor Ian McArthur from the University of Western Australia, who is a highly experienced expert of theoretical physics in the field of SUSY and SUGRA, to visit our group from in the coming November. He is very willing to meet the outstanding students in our university and to give a series of lectures on Quantum Field Theory from the basic to a brief introduction to SUSY.
We will also have Professor Jacques Delabrouille from the APC laboratory (Laboratoire AstroParticule et Cosmologie) in Paris to visit us from November 9th to 15th. His main topics of research are the observation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and the analysis of cosmological and astrophysical data sets. He will give a series of lectures on the physics of CMB including the basic physics, the experimental program, and the current status and prospects for the future.
With the purpose of improving the preparation of young students who are interested in the aforementioned fields, we organize the 2018 Fall Special School On Physics of Cosmic Microwave Background Radiations and Quantum Field Theory at USTC. All lecture videos can be found here for your study purpose.
We will not request any fee for registration, and will also not provide any extra funds for students out of Hefei. However, there are quite some hotels near by the east campus of USTC. If you need help with hotel booking, you may feel free to let me know. For the convenience of those who may be from other cities, please return me the receipt by selecting hotel booking information and choosing which classes you are attending. The receipt form can be downloaded here.
