Summer Lectures on Coulomb Excitation Techniques with Radioactive Beams
June 20-24, 2011
4004 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver, BC
Main Office Building, Auditorium
Purpose
The goal of the school is to train graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and young scientists, who will participate in a series of Coulomb excitation experiments using newly developed radioactive beams and the TIGRESS array at TRIUMF.
The organizers wish to provide students and postdoctoral fellows with the best tools and knowledge available to successfully simulate, perform, analyze and interpret the results of these world-leading experiments.
The program will offer lectures in the morning and hands-on tutorials with relevant interactive examples in the afternoon.
The number of participants has been restricted to 30 to facilitate a good interaction.
The school is provided at no cost to all students. Lunches and coffee will be provided for the duration of the school also at no cost (breakfast and dinner not included).
Registration
If you would like to participate and are sure you will not cancel in the last moment, please register here. Also, please have your supervisor send an email to Corina Andreoiu (caa12@sfu.ca) explaining how you would benefit from this summer school and their support of your attendance.
Location and time
The lectures will be held at TRIUMF, in the Auditorium located in the Main Office Building. The lectures will start on Monday, June 20th at 9:00am.
Travel and accommodation
We assume that you already have some familiarity with TRIUMF and UBC, but if not please contact us.
Participants are responsible for their own travel arrangements, accommodation, breakfasts and dinners.
Six single-occupancy rooms and 8 double-occupancy rooms have been reserved at TRIUMF's house and will be released on May 19th. So please hurry and book your accommodation!
Accommodation is also available at UBC.

Format of the school
Lectures: 3 hours per day
Tutorials: 3 hours per day
Discussions
Prerequisites
The participants should be familiar with "Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, and are willing to hear about them
again", and that they should also have an introduction to nuclear spectroscopy. The participants need to possess a laptop on which they have installed GOSIA.
Significant enhancements to the Gosia suite of Coulomb excitation codes have been released on May 9th, 2011, thanks to the University of Rochester group and their collaborators from Warsaw and Koln.
Please visit GOSIA website, download the Rachel GUI, and the latest version, entitled Gosia_Manual_20110505 via the link on the Gosia Users Website.
