Cosmic Opportunities
August 14-25, 2017
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
Menlo Park, California
The SLAC Summer Institute (SSI) is an annual two-week-long Summer School tradition since 1973.
Lectures are given Monday through Friday each morning. The
afternoons contain a mixture of special lectures, topical
conference talks, discussion sessions, student projects and
tours. In the evenings, there are social activities and student
poster sessions. The attendance is typically a mixture from
graduate students to postdocs, as well as senior researchers.
The theme of the 2017 SSI will be ''Cosmic Opportunities”,
focusing on upcoming opportunities to expand our knowledge
and understanding of the physics of the universe via
cosmological measurements of CMB, Dark Energy, Dark Matter and
Gravitational Waves. New fundamental observations are
forthcoming from improved experiments and new frontier
facilities. What do we hope to learn from this new information ?
