The 21st annual TRIUMF
Summer Institute (TSI) will be held July 20-31, 2009. This year's
TSI will give experimental and theoretical graduate students and young
researchers an extensive overview of topics pertaining to physics at
the Large Hadron Collider
(LHC), including lectures on accelerators, detector design, analysis
methods, statistics, as well as the physics of the Standard Model of
particle physics and a survey of the physics beyond the Standard Model
that the LHC is designed to find. The TRIUMF Summer Institute is
designed to be very interactive with ample time for questions and
discussions. Part of the afternoons is reserved for hands-on problems
to help learn and digest the physics of the lectures. The
participants are invited to present their research in a poster
session. Both experimental and theoretical physics students are
encouraged to attend.
How to register for credits
TSI is a 1.5 units course in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at
the University of Victoria. Students
registered at TSI should register to the graduate course
PHYS511A, Topics in Nuclear and Particle Physics: I; TRIUMF Summer
Institute 2009, LHC Collider Physics, which has the registration number #31401.
The Western Dean
Agreement makes it possible for students from many Canadian
universities to obtain credits for a course taken at the University of Victoria.
