The Center
of Physics is perched above Les
Houches, a small Village in the French alps very close to Chamonix
and the Mont Blanc. About three kilometers from the center of the
village at an altitude of 1150 m the Physics School is located in a group of
chalets surrounded by meadows and woods. Established in 1951, it developed into
a well equipped and modern school facility including a small library, a 70 seat auditorium, internet connection
and a very pleasant environment.
CERN, the European organization for nuclear
research, is located close to Geneva (town,
tourist office) at the Swiss French
border. Established 1957, it is today the largest particle physics center in the world.
Part of CERN's rich research program is the production and investigation of radioactive nuclei at the on-line isotope separator ISOLDE,
driven by one of CERN's accelerators, the PS-booster.

The Physics
School in Les Houches is affiliated to the Université
Joseph Fourier of Grenoble and to the Institut
National Polytechnique de Grenoble, and is supported by the Ministère de
l'Education Nationale, de la Recherche et de la Technologie (MENRT),
the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)
and the Direction des Sciences de la Matière of the Commissariat à l'Energie
Atomique (CEA).
