Overview

July 20 - August 7, 2009
at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).

It is organised within the KIT Center Elementary Particle and Astroparticle Physics (KCETA).

Purpose & Structure

The Summer Institute offers participation in current research projects within KCETA. It addresses PhD students in theoretical and experimental particle & astroparticle physics. The participants will gain insight into the ongoing research, get know-how on experimental techniques via specific SI projects which are embedded into the current work programme at KCETA.

The programme of the SI consists of introductory seminars into the fields of particle and astroparticle physics as well as the specific research projects and experimental techniques. The SI is focussed on individual participation of the students in research projects such as Auger, CMS, EDELWEISS, KASCADE-Grande, KATRIN, LOPES, grid computing and data processing & electronics.

To ensure a most efficient course, the number of participants in the SI is limited to 25.
