Zusammenfassung: The 2009 Arizona Summer Program will be an exciting 4-week research experience for undergraduates in Computational Photonics. There will be a number of lectures given by experts covering computational, mathematical, physical and engineering aspects of the subject accompanied by hands-on computational research experience. Our aim is to expose the role of mathematics in the emerging field of nano-optics, and to provide qualified undergraduates with research experience that promotes learning skills necessary for success in graduate school and in industrial R&D environments. Students will work on their projects related to the ongoing research at the Arizona Center for Mathematical Sciences (Prof. J.V. Moloney,Director, see http://www.acms.arizona.edu ), and R&D division of the Raytheon Corporation (Dr. P. Kano, senior scientist) in the area of Computational Photonics.

Zusammenfassung: This school continues the tradition of past NNPSSs. The NNPSS is distinctively different from many other schools in that it provides lectures and activities that cover the entire field of contemporary nuclear physics, ranging from QCD and the structure of the nucleon, over the reactions and structure of nuclei, to astrophysics. Particular attention is being paid to fostering interactions between students and lecturers as well as among the students that tend to come from all areas of nuclear science. This not only helps to broaden the perspective of the new generation but also aids in the formation of a community spirit within the field. The school can accommodate 50 students typically within 1-2 years either side of earning a PhD.

Michigan State University is the site of the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, the nations premier rare isotope facility, the Mesoscopic Theory Center, and is part of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics, and the UNEDF SciDAC Collaboration in nuclear theory.
