Program

The summer school aims at a balance between lectures, “hands-on” experimental work, and tutorial discussions. The lectures will cover both theoretical and experimental challenges. The tutorials will give time to discuss the lectures and to share student research experience. All students will be expected to bring a poster of their research work to the school and be prepared to give a PowerPoint presentation.

Note: All presentations are available in PDF format. You will need the free Adobe Reader plug-in to view the files. You can download the Acrobat Reader plug-in from the Adobe Web site.
