1. For your CERN diary

Relaxing after the exams? Thought about your next step yet? Come and feel the buzz of CERN and the excitement at the LHC - CERN is the place to be!

Take a look at our web page (link opens in a new window) for information on all our programmes and how to apply. There are a few application deadlines coming up:

• Technical Student Programme (for engineers) 6 to 12 months: 2 August
• Doctoral Student Programme up to 3 years: 2 August
• Fellowships up to 2 years: 7 September

CERN. Take part.

2. Reminder - MICE and Muon accelerators for particle physics open session

The MICE/UKNF Oversight Committee is taking place at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) on Monday 21 and Tuesday 22 June 2010.

You are invited to the open presentations that will take place in the Pickavance Lecture Theatre.

The programme will be as follows:

Day 1 - 21 June

Time	Programme
11:00 - 13:00	Introduction
	The Neutrino Factory as part of the muon-physics programme
	IDS-NF overview
	EUROnu, overview of NF activities in EUROnu, CERN context
	UK contributions to the IDS-NF
13:00 - 14:00	Lunchbreak
14:00 - 15:30	Status and new results from MICE
	FETS
	Target Studies
15:30 - 16:00	Tea
16:00 - 18:00	Cavity development
	Proton-driver conceptual design at RAL
	EMMA (Electron Machine with Many Applications)
	R&D for the Muon Collider and Neutrino Factory in the US
	cLFV experiments, R&D programme and synergies

Day 2 - 22 June

Time	Programme
09:00 - 10:40	MICE introduction and overview
	MICE Cooling channel and RFCC module
	MICE Hall, integration, etc
	Focus coil module and diffuser
10:40 - 11:10	Coffee
11:10 - 12:00	Liquid-hydrogen system and absorber
	Software and emittance reconstruction

If you plan to attend on either, or both days, please could you contact Nicky Bladen-Hovell at STFC, on 01793 442158. If you have any queries please contact Jane Bennett, on 01793 442141.

3. UK HEP forum - "LHC first results and outlook" - September 2010

The UK HEP Forum will take place at The Cosener's House, in Abingdon, on Monday and Tuesday 20-21 September 2010.

Exceptionally, this year the forum will be at the end of the summer to discuss the first physics results obtained at the LHC. Talks will cover a broad range of measurements and the prospects for discoveries in the near future in the light of the first data. This should be a good occasion both for experimentalists and theorists to hold inter-project discussions, and for young physicists to familiarize themselves with the LHC's hottest topics.

The organization of the forum will be similar to previous years. Participation will be free of charge to UK attendees, and a train fare or equivalent can be met.

More details (link opens in a new window) are available from the website.

Please register using the form provided in the "Registration" webpage at your earliest convenience (availability is limited).
