9th Vietnam School on Neutrino at ICISE (July 15-25, 2025)

The 10th Vietnam School on Neutrinos (VSON) 2026, jointly organized by Japanese neutrino physicists, the Neutrino Group, IFIRSE, and Rencontres du Vietnam, will take place from July 14th to July 24th 2026 at the International Center for Interdisciplinary Science and Education (ICISE), Quy Nhon ward, Gia Lai, Vietnam. The school's mission is to train and inspire future generations of students to pursue particle physics, especially neutrino experimental physics. The school's program will contain a set of introductory lectures covering theoretical backgrounds of particle physics with a concentration on neutrino physics and phenomenology. Other lectures will introduce the particle detectors in general with a focus on the methodology and techniques of observing neutrinos. Statistical inference from the data is also covered to extract the relevant parameters. Besides we are arranging both hardware (with plastic scintillator and Silicon-based photomultiplier to sense the cosmic rays) and software (Monte Carlo simulation for the water Cherenkov detector to classify the muon and electron signals which induced by muon-neutrino and electron-neutrino respectively) training sections to provide hands-on experience. 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 international and Vietnamese students depending on the allocated budgets.

Deadline for school application: (Extended) May 4 (Mon.) 2026 (For students from Japan, May 22nd (Fri.) 17:00 JST)
