21st RENCONTRES DU VIETNAM
VIETNAM SCHOOL ON NEUTRINOS (VSON9)
(July 15th - 25th, 2025, ICISE center, Quy Nhon, Vietnam, https://ifirse.icise.vn/nugroup/vson/2025/index.html)
The 9th Vietnam School on Neutrino Physics, organized by Rencontres Du Vietnam, Japanese neutrino physicists, and the Neutrino group, IFIRSE will be held at the International Center for Interdisciplinary Science and Education (ICISE), Quy Nhon, Vietnam, from July 15th – 25th, 2025. The school's mission is to train and inspire future generations of students to pursue particle physics, especially neutrino experimental physics.
An introductory page for the school can be found at https://ifirse.icise.vn/nugroup/vson/2025/overview.html
The school's program will contain a set of introductory lectures covering theoretical background of particle physics with a concentration on neutrino physics and phenomenology. Other lectures will introduce the particle detectors in general with a focus on the methodology and techniques of observing neutrinos. Statistical inference from the data is also covered to extract the relevant parameters. Besides, we are arranging both hardware (with plastic scintillator and Silicon-based photomultiplier to detect the cosmic rays) and software (Monte Carlo simulation for the water Cherenkov detector to classify the muon and electron signals induced by muon-neutrino and electron-neutrino, respectively) training sections to provide hands-on experience. Finally, more advanced lectures will be devoted to modern methods and new developments of neutrino physics in both theoretical and experimental aspects. The language of instruction in the school will be English. Students from developing countries receive full support for their school accommodations and meals, while students from developed countries may receive partial support.
The application deadline is April 30th, 2025.
