The Euro Summer School on exotic beams is supported by the European commission, human potential program, high-level scientific conferences (HPCF-2001-00101-01).

The ninth "Euro Summer School on Exotic Beams" will be held in Les Houches, France and at CERN, Geneva (Switzerland) from September 12th till September 20th, 2002. The school is intended for Ph.D. students and young post-docs starting to work in the fields related to radioactive ion beams.

The production and use of energetic radioactive beams is a rapidly developing new field in Nuclear Physics, especially in Europe. Pioneering experiments are taking place, dedicated facilities are being commissioned and new facilities are proposed. Several workshops and conferences have been devoted to this new field and the senior scientists have ample opportunities to be informed on the latest developments. Young Ph.D. students and post-docs encounter more difficulties to be introduced to this new area and to receive both the basic and the detailed information. The European Union has created the possibility to set up Euro Summer Schools where "the leading scientists are brought together with the youngest scientists in a specific field ...". Therefore, we have taken the initiative to organize an annual school on exotic beams. In a one week program it is not possible to give a complete introduction to all technical and scientific aspects of the production and use of energetic radioactive beams. As a consequence a selection had to be made. The lectures, given by specialists in the field, will start from a basic level.
 

The Scientific Committee of this Euro Summer School is composed as follows : J. Al-Khalili (Surrey, United Kingdom), J. Äystö (Geneva, Switzerland), M. Huyse (Leuven, Belgium) chair, A. Mueller (Orsay, France), K. Riisager (Aarhus, Denmark), E. Roeckl (Darmstadt, Germany), B. Rubio (Valencia, Spain), P. Van Duppen (Leuven, Belgium), A. Vitturi (Padova, Italy).

The local organizing committee of this Euro Summer School is J. Äystö, F. Herfurth, F. Ames, K. Blaum, U. Bergmann, S. Henry and A. Kellerbauer.
