Opening Reception the evening of August 17, 2008
Hosted at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center
The sixth Stanford-Berkeley summer school will provide basic lectures on the synchrotron radiation process, requisite technologies, and a broad range of scientific applications. Visits to both the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL) and the Advanced Light Source (ALS) in Berkeley will be included, with opportunities to interact with the professional staff and graduate students at both facilities. The summer school will be limited to approximately forty graduate students and post-doctoral students, with a preference for those pursuing doctoral research in the physical sciences in which synchrotron radiation is expected to play a significant role. The summer school is jointly sponsored by Stanford University; the Environmental Molecular Science Institute at Stanford; ERC for EUV Science and Technology at Berkeley; and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Lectures will be presented by professors and scientists from these organizations and their user communities. The summer school will be housed at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). Co-chairs of the summer school are Professors Anders Nilsson (nilsson@ssrl.slac.stanford.edu) and David Attwood (attwood@berkeley.edu).
Applications should include a brief academic record, a statement describing the intended research area and how a knowledge of synchrotron radiation would enhance those studies, a list of publications (if any), and information on how to reach the applicant by email and phone through the period extending to the time of the summer school.
