2013 Pyeong-Chang Summer Institute
We will open the first Pyeong-Chang Summer Institute (PSI) during July 7-11, 2013 at Pyeong-Chang, Gangwon-do. The time table and the application page are found at http://psi.kias.re.kr . At this time, there will be lectures covering four different fields in the cosmology. Also discussion sessions are allocated for the students and these sessions will be leaded by two researchers of KIAS. The lecture notes and lecture-related materials such as textbooks, video clips, and journal papers will be posted. They are generally in introductory level for the senior undergraduates and junior graduates.
Main Topics & Lecturers
Galaxy clustering and large-scale structure
Prof. Changbom Park (Korea Institute for Advanced Study)
Physics of cosmic microwave background radiation
Prof. Chan-Gyung Park (Chonbuk National Univ.)
The early universe and the primordial fluctuations
Prof. Jaechan Hwang (Kyungpook National Univ.)
Data Analysis in Cosmology
Dr. Arman Shafieloo(APCTP)
Here are some materials which can be useful for the students. The following two papers are reviews on usual statistical techniques used in cosmology. I will not cover all these materials but probably I try to mention the headlines and the overall subjects of studies. http://arxiv.org/abs/0911.3105 http://arxiv.org/abs/0906.0664 The followings are the lectures of L. Verde (related to the first review paper) in a summer school that students can watch on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZKswAI50Kg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLViS_7Sxoo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_nim3H7GYE and the following link direct more expert ones to the discussions in the cosmological community on data analysis. This is a good review book and cover many corners of the field. http://www.springer.com/physics/theoretical,+mathematical+%26+computational+physics/book/978-3-540-23972-7 In my single lecture, I will not go to any detail (I would not like to scare the students) and will try to cover only the headlines and let them know what kind of things we do in cosmology and how we connect the data to theoretical models. I am planning to prepare my lecture notes by end of June, a week prior to the school.
