The 12th "EURO SUMMER SCHOOL
ON EXOTIC BEAMS" was held at Mainz, Germany, from 25.August to
2.September 2005.
The school was intended for Ph.D. students and young post-docs starting to
work in the fields related to radioactive ion beams.
It consisted of several lecture courses given by
specialists in the field, starting from a basic level. The School is an
annual event, funded by the EU under contract number HPCF-2001-00101-01, that
started off based at Leuven in Belgium. Each year, the School attracts about
50-60 students from all over Europe. Since 2000 it has travelled around
various venues in Europe (Jyvaskyla, Les Houches, Valencia, and Surrey). The
next school will take place at ECT* at Trento (Italy) in summer 2006.
This year (2005) it was organized by GSI-Darmstadt and took place in the
picturesque center of the city of Mainz, located at the scenic part of the
Rhine River.
Speakers and topics:
Thomas Aumann (Darmstadt): Reactions with exotic nuclei
Klaus Blaum (Mainz): Atomic physics tools in nuclear physics
Oliver Boine-Frankenheim (Darmstadt): Linear and circular accelerators

Darmstadt, took place with a guided tour to the accelerator and experimental
facilities. World experts gave tutorials on tumor therapy with heavy
ions and an introduction to the International Facility for Antiproton and
Ion Research FAIR.
