Computational Plasma Astrophysics
From July 18 to 29, 2016, the 15th annual Prospects in Theoretical Physics (PiTP) summer school will be held on the campus of the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS). The school is sponsored by IAS, the Max-Planck-Princeton Center for Fusion and Astro Plasma Physics (MPPC), and the Black Hole Accretion Theory and Computation Network (the Horizon collaboration).
The PiTP Organizing Committee is always seeking ways to improve our program and feedback from our participants is invaluable. If you could take the time to fill out a brief online survey, it would be greatly appreciated. Your feedback and input is vital to the continued success of the program.
The survey can be found here. A link will also be posted on the website homepage and the Facebook group.
The Institute for Advanced Study is hosting a "Soccer Day" for its Members, Staff and PiTP participants on Saturday, July 23rd. A mini-tournament will be held. The event will begin at 10:00 am on the Institute soccer field.
Hal Finkel from the Argonne National Laboratory will be giving a lecture during the first week of the program. His lecture has been added to the program schedule.
John ZuHone of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and Tamara Munzner from the University of British Columbia will be giving lectures during the PiTP program. The lectures has been added to the program schedule. There has also been additions to the pre-reading list for the new lectures.
A tentative schedule has been made available for program participants. This schedule will continue to be updated as more lectures are scheduled. After the program, videos of the lectures and lecture materials, such as notes or slides, may be posted to the schedule.
A suggested reading list has also been posted. Participants may wish to review the listed material in preparation for the program. This list will continue to be updated. Additions to the list will be clearly indicated.
The website for submitting payment for dorm accommodations, for those participants who requested dorm housing, is now available. You may access the site at, www.regonline.com/pitphousing2016.
Information on ways to travel to the Institute as well as tips for applying for visas have been made available. Please see the drop down options under "Travel Information" on the menu bar for more details.
