The program will consist of a pedagogical series of lectures given over a four-week period, three or four lectures per day, Monday through Friday. The audience will be composed of advanced theoretical graduate students. Applicants should have some research experience in particle theory. Preference will be given to applicants who will not have received their Ph.D. before 2025. Rooms, meals, and access to all facilities will be provided at reasonable rates in beautifully located dormitories at the University of Colorado. TASI typically provides some subsidy for student expenses, but attending students are likely to need partial support from other sources, especially for travel expenses.
