VSON4: Overview

The Vietnam School on Neutrinos (VSON) 2020, the 4th in its series, will be jointly organized by Japanese neutrino physicists, Neutrino Group, IFIRSE and Rencontres du Vietnam, and held at the International Center for Interdisciplinary Science and Education (ICISE), Quy Nhon, Binh Dinh from December 7th – 18th 2020. The purpose of the school is to train and attract generations of students to follow neutrino physics, especially neutrino experimental physics. With the aim of training students to work on the field of neutrino experimental physics from the beginning, the program of the school will contain a set of introductory lectures covering theoretical backgrounds of neutrino physics and neutrino phenomenology. Other lectures will introduce neutrino experiments and (basic/most used) methods of observing and detecting neutrinos as well as demonstrate calculating neutrino parameters, in particular, tools and methods of analysis used in neutrino experiments will be introduced with an idea of giving chances to students to deal with specific problems. Finally, more advanced lectures will be devoted to modern methods and new developments of neutrino physics in both theoretical and experimental aspects. The school will select 20-25 students mainly from Vietnam with few from Japan and other Asia countries.
