Inter University Accelerator Centre (IUAC) is an autonomous centre of the University Grants Commission (UGC) providing advanced facilities to the user community for carrying out accelerator based research in basic sciences. Research is conducted primarily in the fields of experimental nuclear physics, materials science, atomic and molecular physics, accelerator physics, accelerator mass spectrometry, radiation biologyand radiation physics. More information is available in IUAC's website: http://www.iuac.res.in.
Students studying in second / third year B. Sc. (Physics) / integrated M. Sc. (Physics) in any Indian college / university / institute and securing minimum 60% marks in all examinations can apply for the summer programme to be conducted at IUAC from 05-30 June, 2017. The aims of the programme are to expose young students to research opportunities in experimental physics and impart hands-on training to them by scientists of IUAC. Each selected student would be expected to carry out a short project in experimental physics, guided by a mentor. Upon successful completion of the project, students would be asked to present their work. A few special lectures and guided tour of the experimental facilities of IUAC will also be arranged.
Interested students need to apply online with necessary details. Applications can not be submitted by post or through email. IUAC will provide the selected candidates free boarding and lodging at its premises and travel support by train maximum up to AC 3-tier by the shortest route (or equivalent by AC bus).
