Contents
The school is aimed at PhD students and postdocs. The topics will cover different applications of Transient Current Technique (TCT) including:
- SPA-TCT: single photon absorption TCT
- TPA-TCT: two photon absorption TCT
- Signal formation in TCT measurements
The main part of the course will consist of a half day theoretical plenary session and three half day hands-on lab sessions. The lab sessions will include data taking and analysis of the recorded data. A wrap-up session will be held on the last day. Participants will also be able to present their own TCT applications.
The program also includes a social dinner in Geneva.
Antimatter Factory visit:
A visit of the CERN Antimatter Factory is scheduled after the conclusion of the TCT School (Thursday 13:00-14:20). The visit is optional. Those who want to take part should register (Registration tab).
Applications
Applications are open until Thursday 31 July 23:59. Due to the laboratory space constraints the number of participants is limited to 18 persons. In case of a larger number of applications, participants will be selected by the organizing committee through following criteria:
- Based on the letter of motivation
- One person per institute, more if space still available
A short letter of motivation (maximum half page, 250 words) should be included in the application. Let us know in advance if you need significant time for travel arrangements.
