São Paulo School of Advanced Science on High Energy and Plasma Astrophysics in the CTA Era (SPSAS-HighAstro)

Inclusion of events on the AAS Calendar is for viewer information only and does not imply endorsement by the American Astronomical Society.

IAG-USP invites  students, postdocs and researchers to apply for the School.

The SOC will select 100 students (approximately 50% Brazilian and 50% foreign students) with basic training in the fields of physics, astronomy and mathematics, to participate in the Advanced School. Students and postdocs with some research experience in astrophysics, in particular high-energy and plasma astrophysics will be prioritized.

There will be Financial Support providing the travel expenses (when necessary) and living allowances for all the students selected for the school.

Topics to be covered include:

• Radiation processes in high energy astrophysics<
• Cosmic Ray acceleration mechanisms
• Cosmic Ray propagation
• Non-thermal radiation magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) processes in gamma-ray sources (supernova remnants, pulsar winds, black holes, and jets)
• Imaging Gamma-Ray emission with air Cherenkov Telescopes
• Gamma-Ray data analysis with Cherenkov Telescopes
• Unveiling the Gamma-Ray Universe with the CTA
• Space versus Ground Based Gamma-Ray Astronomy - from FERMI to CTA
• Cosmic Ray Diffusion in Turbulent Media
• Particle Acceleration by Magnetic Reconnection
• High Energy Messengers of the Non-thermal Universe
• The search for Dark Matter
