Hope to see some of the BASians there :) :)

Thanks Sundar, are these open for public as well ?

Sorry But i am a new member in BAS can students attend these... I am doing engineering and i would like to attend it... It says the lecture is on for three days... i mean from the above link i got this information...So can students attend this and is there any procedure to attend these lectures

...

[Sundar M N]

Hi Sriram,
Students do can come and attend to these lectures. Please come to Institute in Kormangala, sign-in at the security and walk up to first floor auditorium through main entrance. That simple is the procedure. If there are any other procedures like registering etc, i will post them in this thread as i get to know them. 

Regards,
Sundar.M.N

Hi Sriram, 

Sundar has attached a pdf here in his mail. It clearly states All are welcome.

Most of the IIA lectures are open for public, except few, I had to return back couple of times as security guard did not allow. 

You need to tell security - I have come here to attend lecture at Auditorium. For this -particle phy lecture, security will allow you as they know beforehand which lectures are allowed or not allowed for public. 

You can connect with Sundar to know more about  IIA activities. 

Regards,

Sunil G

Its also good to know the names of a couple of faculty in the Institute( can be got from the IIA website). If you have trouble entering for the lecture you can tell you have come to meet them and they cant stop you from entering the campus. Once you are inside, you could go to the auditorium and attend lecture and also meet a few faculty if possible. 

Regards,
Sundar.M.N

Ok but on friday there are two sessions... As i have some exams i can possibly  attend the afternoon lecture , so will the security allow me around afternoon time or we should attend right from the starting morning session..and is there any possibility that i can meet any BAS member from chennai...are you from chennai?? or you reside in bangalore??? sorry if it is irrelevant and unwanted question...But the BAS have less chennai members so it would be a great experience to meet someone from BAS....

 if possible... 

[Sundar M N]

You could attend at your convenience. i am not sure how the series of lectures is structured, you might feel a little disconnected if the morning and the afternoon sessions are related! I am from Bangalore, and i will surely be there on thursday. Friday i have some other appointment so wont be there in the Institute. BASians from chennai in the lecture is highly unlikely. If someone is around and want to drop in, it might be rare chance.  I presume Sunil Gobbannavar would make it, other BAS members i am not very sure.

I might have the lectures recorded(audio), but not sure yet. If so then i would share with all once i have them. 

Regards,
Sundar.M.N

[Sunil Gobbannavar]

Hi all,

I thought i will write a small note on the first lecture of the series. 
Professor has a very sound profile being a part of many premier institutes in India and one of the particle physicist here. Its a plus point because we seldom get to meet such people and one should never miss an opportunity. 

The lectures as the poster says is aimed at general public and Under-grad and Post-grad students. The content was simple, very much readable. The first lecture that was done today gave a brief introduction to Standard Model in High Energy Physics( Particle physics). With topics like Quantum field theory, Quantum Electro-dynamics, Feynman Diagrams, Quantum chromo dynamics , Higgs boson - its discovery, Higgs field theory ( just some important points) etc being touched upon. His expertise is shown in making the lecture free of any equations and also the way he skimmed over these complex topics at a students level.

For a Post-grad or Grad student, who has done some course on Particle physics, it surely was too simple but was a good brush up of basics and a chance to re-kindle the interest. From an under-grad or general public POV, it was a good talk. 

Tomorrow there are two sessions. The morning session(10.30 am) he has promised to talk about neutrino and India's Neutrino Observatory and its functionality. The afternoon session(3.30 pm) is a blackboard seminar where he will probably cover more details on the basics of QFT, QED, QCD , SM and associated schemes with some more examples and probably sum equations. 

Regards,
Sundar.M.N

Hi Murali,

Unfortunately no. Apparently IIA doesnt have a facility to record the videos and even give a live webcast!!! If anyone has recorded an audio on their phone, that's the only resource available. I will try to find out and see if i can collect from someone. If i get i will surely share it here.

Regards,
Sundar.M.N
