SUMMER SCHOOL ALFREDO DUPASQUIER BRUNATE LIBRARY

A two day pre-workshop school on positrons to study defects in Material Science will be offered for PhD, Master students and newcomers in the field at the Brunate Library (close to Como).

A text containing contributions from each Lecturer will be published for the participants of the Summer School.
