Abstract

0088940 Haxton This project will allow the continuation of the national Summer School in Nuclear Physics, now in its 12th year, for an additional five years. This annual school is intended for advanced graduate students and beginning postdoctoral researchers in theory or experiment, and consists of several courses of introductory lectures by leading nuclear physicists. One main goal is to provide nuclear physics students with a broad perspective on the field, thereby combating the specialization that often occurs within focused research groups. NSF funding for the school covers the expenses of the lecturers and a portion of the local costs of the students who attend. More information on this year's school can be found at http://int.phys.washington.edu/NPSS/NPSS.html.
