Quantum Computing and Machine Learning for Science and Technology Summer School huberg Thu, 03/05/2020 - 16:40

We are excited to announce the upcoming TRIUMF Summer Institute (TSI 2020) on Quantum Computing and Machine Learning for Science and Technology, to be held at TRIUMF in Vancouver, BC, Canada from August 3rd to August 14th 2020. The school is organized by TRIUMF, Germany's Helmholtz Association, Simon Fraser University, the University of British Columbia, and the University of Victoria.

Please bring this opportunity to the attention of graduate students, as well as senior undergraduates and post-doctoral researchers, interested in this area.

The school is aimed at equipping graduate students in quantitative disciplines with applicable skills in machine learning and introducing them to the possibilities in quantum computing and quantum machine learning.

Students will experience an overview of gate model quantum computing, a survey of classical machine learning topics including deep learning, and explore what is being done in the early stages of quantum machine learning research. The students will also become familiar with alternative quantum computing models and modern approaches to quantum computing implementations. TSI 2020 emphasizes a hands-on approach, with large blocks of time dedicated to tutorials. The school will end with a two-day hackathon where students will showcase their knowledge applied to a practical problem.

Applications for TSI 2020 will be accepted from March 9 until April 19th. Successful applicants will be informed and invited to complete registration by April 24.

Graduate Instrumentation and Detector School (GRIDS2018) huberg Mon, 04/30/2018 - 14:16

The Graduate Instrumentation and Detector School (GRIDS2018) sponsored by TRIUMF and the Canadian Particle Astrophysics Research Centre (CPARC) will take place at TRIUMF in Vancouver, Canada from August 6-17, 2018. The school also doubles as the 28th TRIUMF Summer Institute (TSI2018).

Please pass this information on to graduate students and post-docs who might be interested. A second circular with more details will be released when the application/registration process opens in the coming weeks.

About the School:

TSI/GRIDS2018 (tsi.triumf.ca) is aimed at graduate students and post-docs for whom particle and radiation detection plays an important role in their work, and who would like to gain hands-on experience with detectors and associated instrumentation technology. The goal of the school is to provide an introduction to practical aspects of radiation detection in nuclear, particle, and astroparticle physics as well as in nuclear medicine so that participants achieve a working knowledge of the origin of data produced by commonly employed detector systems.

Objectives:

GRIDS will offer a diversified program, combining plenary lectures from leading experts with hands-on laboratory experience with typical detector and instrumentation technologies

Participants will develop a basic understanding of the interactions of particles with matter that are relevant to radiation detection, and of the physical mechanisms for collecting energy deposited by radiation. Operational principles will be covered for commonly employed detectors suitable for measurements of energy, momentum, timing, and particle identification. Low background environments and radio-frequency and electronic techniques will be discussed. Participants will explore design and decision-making in the field of radiation detection with focus on the rationale, limitations, and breadth of detector applications and development.

Participants will also develop laboratory skills to operate commonly used equipment for radiation detection in a safe and effective manner, identify common problems associated with operating particle physics detectors, and work as a team to experiment using a detector assembly.

Details about plenary speakers and laboratory experiments will be available in the coming weeks.

Application and Registration Procedure:

Applications along with letters of reference will be accepted via the GRIDS website. The school will host up to 20 participants. Those chosen to participate will be invited to complete the registration process, also via the GRIDS website.

Partial support will be available from CPARC and other agencies.

The application process will open in early May 2018.

For further information:

Visit the school website at http://tsi.triumf.ca/ for more information, including travel and accommodations.

Additional questions can be forwarded to tsi@triumf.ca

Plenary talks: The plenary talk schedule is available on the web site.

Registration: Registration is open, and the early-bird registration fee will remain in effect until April 20. Please register now, and reserve a room at the conference hotel (which provided an attractive rate for our group).

Abstract submission: Abstract submission is done through the conference's Indico site, as described on the main web page. We ask contributors to submit prior to April 20, or sooner if possible.

Financial support: As the support available to participants is limited, priority will be given to younger researchers who register prior to April 20. The application form is available on the web site.

Joint ICTP-IAEA Workshop on Nuclear Structure and Decay Data huberg Fri, 04/06/2018 - 10:47

Dear Colleagues

This is to inform you that online application is NOW OPEN for the Joint ICTP-IAEA Workshop on Nuclear Structure and Decay Data: Experiment, Theory and Evaluation, 15-26 October 2018.

The ONLINE APPLICATION FORM and information about the workshop are available on the ICTP workshop webpage: http://indico.ictp.it/event/8338/
Information and links are also provided on the NSDD webpage: http://www-nds.iaea.org/nsdd/

Please forward this information to other colleagues who may be interested. Young nuclear physicists, post-doctoral fellows and/or senior PhD students working on nuclear experiments or theory are encouraged to apply.

The workshop not only offers an introduction to nuclear structure and decay data evaluation, but more importantly, by combining lectures with hands-on exercises and direct interaction with the lecturers, it provides participants an opportunity to gain deeper insight into and better understanding of various aspects of nuclear structure and decay, experimental and theoretical.

Financial aid is provided preferably to applicants from developing countries. However, there are no registration fees and accommodation and local subsistence costs are heavily subsidised by ICTP, which makes this a low-cost event to attend.

Best regards
Vivian
