The Gran Sasso Summer Institute, at its first edition in 2014, offers to a selected number of PhD students the opportunity to get directly involved into the research projects of LNGS, the world-leading laboratory for underground astroparticle physics and nuclear astrophysics.
A series of lectures, held by an international pool of well-known scientists, provide the scientific background needed for the proposed activities.
Hands-on activities focus on the following topics:
- Dark matter (DAMA, XENON, DARK SIDE, CRESST)
- Neutrinoless double beta decay (GERDA, CUORE, LUCIFER)
- Neutrino oscillations (BOREXINO, OPERA, ICARUS)
- Nuclear astrophysics (LUNA)
- Low radioactivity measurements (STELLA)
- Geodesy and general relativity (GINGER)
