The aim of the Institute is to get PhD students directly involved into the research projects of LNGS, the world-leading laboratory for underground astroparticle physics and nuclear astrophysics.
Hands-on activities will focus on the following topics:
- Dark matter (DAMA, XENON, DARK SIDE, CRESST)
- Neutrinoless double beta decay (GERDA, CUORE, LUCIFER)
- Neutrino oscillations (BOREXINO, OPERA, ICARUS)
- Nuclear astrophysics (LUNA)
- Low radioactivity measurements (STELLA)
- Geodesy and general relativity (GINGER)
A series of lectures will provide the background needed for the proposed activities. Students will report their results at the end of the Institute in a proceedings paper on a peer-reviewed journal.
The school is limited to 30 participants. The selection of participants is now finished and results of the selection were individually notified by email.
