TCP School at RIKEN

28 Nov 2014, 09:00 → 29 Nov 2014, 18:00 Asia/Tokyo

Nishina Hall

The TCP conference will be preceded by a school on Trapped Charged Particles at RIKEN in Wako, Japan, during November 28-29. This will provide a perfect opportunity for graduate students to directly interact with and gain knowledge from leading figures in the field of trapped-ion physics prior to the conference. As the TCP School is to be held at RIKEN (near Tokyo) while the conference is quite distantly located, we must advise that participants book separate rooms for each setting. Some domestic travel support for students is available upon request.
