Collider and Energy Frontier Physics

The 18^th annual TRIUMF Summer Institute (TSI) will be held July 10-21, 2006. This year's TSI is designed to give graduate students and young researchers an improved understanding of topics surrounding the research areas of collider physics with emphasis on the LHC. The Institute will provide short courses on the relevant theoretical background and detector technology, as well as present exciting new developments in related high energy physics research. Lectures will take place in the mornings, while afternoons are reserved for problems sessions in small groups. An afternoon workshop on Project Management for Scientists is scheduled. Participants will be given the opportunity to present their research in a poster session. In some cases university credit is possible. Both experimental and theoretical physics students are urged to attend. Participation is normally limited to 40 students.

Registration

The TRIUMF Summer Institute 2006 is free for registered participants.

The registration form [ PDF (54 KB) , gzipped PostScript (41 KB) , PostScript (360 KB) ] should be downloaded, completed and faxed to Elly Driessen at TRIUMF. Please note that the number of participants will be limited to 40. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide financial support to cover travel or subsistence expenses.

Accommodation

A limited number of rooms have been set aside for TRIUMF Summer Institute 2006 participants at The Gage Towers on the UBC campus. The room rate is CDN$39 per night, plus 15% tax. This rate will only be available if the accommodation request is received before June 9, 2006. (Note that July is high tourist season in Vancouver. At that time it is very difficult to find accommodations in this price range anywhere in the city.)

Please make your own reservation using this Web form.

Alternatively, you may contact the Reservations Office directly and quote the group code G60709C in order to obtain the special room rate.
