Description

Antimatter experiments are at the cutting edge of science. They are, however, very difficult to realise. The AVA project aims at enabling new antimatter  experiments, probing the fundamental laws of nature.

We are delighted to announce a week-long international School on Low Energy Antimatter Physics which will be held at CERN. It will cover the challenges in antimatter facility design and optimization, beyond state of the art beam diagnostics and advanced detectors, as well as novel antimatter experiments.
In addition to lectures by research leaders, there will be study groups, a poster session and a dedicated industry session. There will also be opportunities for discussion and networking at evening events and a tour of CERN’s unique accelerator facilities.

Registration deadline: 7th May 2018

Payment deadline: 15th May 2018 

AVA has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 721559.
