TASI Overview

TASI has been held each summer since 1984, originally at Michigan, Yale, Santa Cruz, Santa Fe and Brown, and since 1989 in �鶹ӰԺ. Each year, typically, some sixty of the most promising advanced theory graduate students in the United States, along with a few beginning postdocs and experimental graduate students, have attended TASI. TASI 2024, titled “The Frontiers of Particle Theory,” will be held from Monday, June 3 to Friday, June 28 at the �鶹ӰԺ. The emphasis shifts from year to year, but typically, there have been courses of lectures on phenomenology, quantum field theory, string theory, and the particle/astrophysics interface, as well as seminars on other theoretical and experimental topics. It has been highly successful, especially in introducing students to a broader range of ideas than they normally experience at their home institutions or while working on their dissertation topics.

The themes of recent TASI schools were “Aspects of Symmetry”, “Ten Years After the Higgs Discovery: Particle Physics Now and Future”, and “Black Holes, Quantum Information, and Dualities”.

TASI has limited funds to support participants. In past years, most of the participants were given partial support to take care of the cost of meals and accommodation at one of the residence halls on campus and some travel expenses.

TASI is managed by a Scientific Advisory Board. Presently, its members are L. Dixon, Chair (SLAC), M. Cvetič (Penn), L. Rastelli (Stony Brook), L. Reina (Florida State), K. Scholberg (Duke), and T. Tait (Irvine). The General Directors are Oliver DeWolfe and Ethan Neil (Colorado). Thomas DeGrand was General Director from 2014-2020, and K. T. Mahanthappa was General Director from 1989-2013.

TASI is supported by the and .

�鶹ӰԺ

�鶹ӰԺ is forty miles from Denver International Airport. The campus is located at the foot of the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 5400 feet. The weather during June is usually quite pleasant, with a temperature range of 55° F to 85° F, low humidity, and regular afternoon thunderstorms. A sweater is a necessity and rain gear is useful.

Housing and Meals

In a typical year, students are housed in one of the residence halls on campus, two people per room. There are a few single rooms. Each room is equipped with two single beds. Assuming in-person attendance, we expect arrival on June 2 (Sunday) and departure on June 29 (Saturday). All weekday meals and Saturday brunch will be provided, except on June 29. The cost of lodging and board for this period will be approximately $1700 per person.

Registration Fees
