EBSS2010: Exotic Beam Summer School
Preliminary Information
The deadline for completed applications for EBSS2010 was May 15, 2010 -- including a letter from the
applicant's supervisor or advisor. Applications are now being reviewed -- approximately 45
will be chosen from the over 90 applicants. Accepted applicants will be notified on June 1, 2010;
any unfilled slots by June 15, 2010 will be offered to other applicants on a waiting list.
The aim of this annual school is to educate young researchers on the excitement
and challenges of radioactive ion beam physics. Through these schools, the research
community will be able to more fully exploit the opportunities created by the next
generation exotic beam facilities, such as the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB).
A unique feature of this summer school series is the hands-on activities where students
spend their afternoons in the lab of a radioactive beam facility, learning about the techniques
and instrumentation needed to carry out experiments with unstable beams.
