The 9th Vietnam School on Neutrinos (VSON9), organized by Rencontres Du Vietnam, Japanese neutrino physicists, and Neutrino group, IFIRSE will be held at the International Center for Interdisciplinary Science and Education (ICISE), Quy Nhon, Vietnam, from July 15th – 25th, 2025. The school's mission is to train and inspire future generations of students to pursue particle physics, especially neutrino experimental physics. 

Applications are due by 30 April 2025.

The AIP and the Vietnam Physical Soceity (VPS) are both member societies of the Association of Asia Pacific Physical Societies (AAPPS).

More Information

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 detect 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 language of instruction in the school will be English. Students from the developing countries receive full support for their school accommodations and meals, while students from developed countries may receive partial support.

To apply, submit your CV and research interests using the online registration form by 30 April 2025.
