2nd Baltic School of High-Energy Physics and Accelerator Technologies 2022

Europe/Tallinn
Erki Kärber (TalTech), Fjodor Sergejev (Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech)), Veronika Zadin (University of Tartu (EE))
Description

The second edition of the Baltic School of High-Energy Physics and Accelerator Technologies (HEP&AT) will be hosted by the TalTech and held in Saaremaa.

The school will focus on the fundamental aspects of high-energy physics theory and touch on the cutting edge research currently on-going. In addition, the school will also cover both the basic principles and the current cutting edge technologies of particle accelerators, as well as their applications.

The school is organised by the CERN Baltic Group, a collaboration of nine higher education and research institutions in the Baltic states, and is endorsed by CERN. 

  • The registration deadline is 1pm CEST on the 1st of June!
  • Participation fee of the event is 40€ per person (to be paid after acceptance announcements)!

Places in this school are limited and in case of equally eligible candidates, will be allocated on the first-come-first-serve basis, so do not hesitate to apply!

Co-funded and organized by H2020 ERA Chair MATTER (Grant Agreement No 856705)

      Guided tour to Kuressaare castle

      Guided tour to bishops castle & museum! http://www.saaremaamuuseum.ee/kulastajale/kulastusajad/. We gather in the summer school courtyard at 17.30 and walk to the castle. It's located next to harbour, close to the ship Hoppet.

      The earliest written record mentioning Kuressaare castle is from the 1380s, when the Teutonic Order began its construction for the bishops of Ösel-Wieck.[1] Some sources claim that the first castle was built of wood.[2][3] As the inhabitants of Saaremaa put up stiff resistance to foreign efforts to Christianise them, the castle was undoubtedly built as part of a wider effort by the crusaders to gain control over the island. From the outset, it was a stronghold belonging to the bishop of Saare-Lääne (German: Ösel-Wiek) and remained one of the most important castles of the Bishopric until its dissolution during the Livonian War.[4]
