The University of Delhi was established in 1922. It is one of the premier Educational Institution in India. Sixteen faculties of the University offer a wide spectrum of undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programs. With its 85 colleges, 84 postgraduate departments, over 300,000 students and about 7,000 teachers, the University of Delhi is the largest in India and one among the largest in the world. North Campus of University of Delhi is located in the northern part of Delhi, near Delhi University Metro (subway) Station. It is approximately 40 km from Indira Gandhi International Airport and about 30 km from domestic terminal.
Indian Science has come to be regarded as one of the most powerful instruments of growth and development, especially in the emerging scenario and competitive economy. In the wake of the recent developments and the new demands that are being placed on the S&T system, it is necessary for us to embark on some major science projects which have relevance to national needs and which will also be relevant for tomorrow's technology. The Department of Science & Technology plays a pivotal role in promotion of science & technology in the country.
The Department of Physics and Astrophysics, University of Delhi, is located in the picturesque and historic North Campus of the University. Spread across three buildings and with over 800 members, it is possibly the largest science department in any Indian university. It came into its existence in the year 1922. When the University moved to its present campus, the Physics and Chemistry Departments were allocated space in the former Viceroy's complex, in an elegant pillared building which continues to function as the shared Old Block of the two departments.
The recent approval of the India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) and the Iron Calorimeter (ICAL) experiment by the Government of India has rejuvenated the experimental particle physics research in the country. Also, the successful Run I of the LHC, where the Higgs boson was discovered and many of its properties measured to a good precision, has blown a fresh breath into the entire world of high energy physics community.
With the start of Run II of LHC and upgrade of the CMS and ALICE detectors finalised, the construction of the ICAL detector picking up and other new experiments being designed and executed there is an intense need for the young generation to be trained properly to take up these challenges.
The Xth SERC School in Experimental high energy physics is an attempt in that direction and is being organised at the University of Delhi, Delhi. During the school there will be lectures on the concepts of particle and nuclear physics, accelerator technologies, detector physics, readout electronics & trigger system and data analysis techniques. Experts from all over the country and abroad will be delivering the lectures, conducting the tutorial sessions and hand on sessions on the detectors, electronics and data analysis.
We invite applications from the motivated graduate students working for their Ph.D. in the experimental high energy and nuclear physics, as well as some outstanding master students.
