Berkeley-Stanford Summer School in
Synchrotron Radiation 

July 8-14, 2001 
The first Berkeley-Stanford summer school will provide basic lectures on the synchrotron radiation process, requisite technologies, and a broad range of scientific applications.Visits to both the Advanced Light Source (ALS) in Berkeley and the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL) will be included, with opportunities to interact with the professional staff and graduate students at both facilities. The Summer school will be limited to approximately forty graduate students, with a preference for those pursuing doctoral research in the physical sciences in which synchrotron radiation is expected to play a significant role. The summer school is jointly sponsored by the University of California at Berkeley, Stanford University, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory. Lectures will be presented by professors and scientists from these four organizations and their user communities. This first summer school will be housed at U.C. Berkeley’s Clark Kerr campus. Co-chairs for this first summer school are David Attwood (attwood@eecs.berkeley.edu) and Anders Nilsson (nilsson@ssrl.slac.stanford.edu).

Cost of attendance will be $595 for the one-week course (Sunday afternoon through Saturday morning), including lectures, shared room, meals, and local transportation from the lecture site to the two synchrotron radiation facilities. Applications should include a brief academic record, a statement describing the intended research area and how a knowledge of synchrotron radiation would enhance those studies, a list of publications (if any), and information on how to reach the applicant by email and phone through the period extending to the time of the summer school. Applications can be sent electronically to: Course6@unx.berkeley.edu, or by mail to: Jenny Black Deer/Joan Shao, Berkeley-Stanford Summer School, University of CaliforniaExtension, 1995 University Avenue, MC 7010, Berkeley, CA 94720-7010.
