What do you know about Winter School on AstroParticle Physics (WAPP)? Is the Bose Institute, Darjeeling in association with the TIFR, Mumbai control WAPP? How many Programs offer by WAPP at TIFR Campus? Is there any scholarship scheme provides by the Winter School on AstroParticle Physics?

The Winter School on Astroparticle Physics (WAPP) was organized at the Cosmic Ray Laboratory of Tata Institute of Fundamental Research TIFR, Ooty in association with the Bose Institute, Kolkata, during December 21-29, 2016 in Ooty.

The philosophy of WAPP is to expose young minds to the excitement in the field of experimental high energy astroparticle physics.

The WAPP program consists of two sessions of 4 hours duration every day.

The first session in the morning consists of a set of 4 lectures, in advanced areas of astroparticle physics, high energy physics and astronomy.

In the second session in the afternoon the students would have an opportunity to acquire hands-on experience by working with state-of-the-art equipment.

Who Should Apply?

Exceptionally bright students in the final year of M.Sc. interested in persuing a research career in AstroParticle physics, and young research scholars working in this area of research are encouraged to apply.

Students in the final year of B.E./B.Tech. in Electronics and related areas with an outstanding academic record, having a deep interest in AstroParticle Physics may also apply.

Morning Lecture Session:

During the period 21-29 December 2016 the school would be conducted on 8 days, with 25 December 2016 would be holiday.

During these 8 days a total of 32 lectures, each of 50 minutes duration, would be given during the morning sessions covering the following areas;

(1) Physics of High Energy Interactions
(2) High Energy Astroparticle Physics
(3) Solar Physics
(4) Computational Methods for Data Analysis
(5) Charged Particle Detection Grapes

Afternoon Laboratory Session:

A large number laboratory experiments are being setup wth four broad themes namely;

(1) Operation of scintillators,
(2) Signal processing,
(3) Measurements using relativistic radiation,
(4) Analysis of the observed data.
