Young Researchers Attend School on Exotic Beam Physics
OAK RIDGE, TENN -- More than forty students are taking part in the First Rare Isotope Accelerator Summer School on Exotic Beam Physics August 12-17 at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Physics Division.
The school is the first of a series of programs aimed at educating young researchers who will use the planned Rare Isotope Accelerator, endorsed by the 2002 Nuclear Physics Long Range Plan as the highest priority for major new construction in the field.
The school is jointly organized by accelerator laboratories at Berkeley National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Michigan State University, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, with Oak Ridge Associated Universities facilitating the student’s participation.
The summer school will rotate among the four national labs.
