Young Scientist Research Programme (YSRP) at RRCAT, Indore
| YOUNG SCIENTIST RESEARCH PROGRAMME (YSRP-2013) |
The Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT), Indore is India’s premier laboratory in the areas of accelerators, lasers and related areas of Science and Technology. Ongoing work at the Centre includes:
-
Operation and utilization of two synchrotron radiation sources INDUS-1 and INDUS-2, microtrons, linear accelerators, photo injectors, DC accelerators, etc. Several beamlines have been installed and operational in both the synchrotrons.
- Development and use of copper-vapour lasers, dye lasers, Nd:YAG lasers, high-power CO2 lasers, Ti:sapphire lasers, diode lasers, free-electron lasers, microwave systems, power supplies, control systems, instrumentation, etc.
- Experimental programmes in superconductivity, cryogenics, magnetism, semiconductors, ultra-fast studies, nonlinear optics, laser cooling of atoms, laser-plasma interaction, laser materials (ceramics and single crystal), applications of synchrotron radiation and biomedical applications of lasers.
- Theoretical research on nonlinear and quantum optics, nonlinear dynamics in accelerators, free-electron lasers, materials science, studies on light propagation in turbid media and its applications in biomedicine, scientific computing, software development, information management.

In order to expose students to these frontiers in science, the Centre runs a Young Scientist Research Programme during the summer. Students who are presently in the first year of M.Sc. (Physics), or in the fourth year of integrated M.Sc. (Physics) or in the third year of B.E./B.Tech. (Engineering Physics/ Mechanical Engineering./ Electrical Engineering/ Electronics Engineering/ Metallurgy/ Computer Science/ Information Technology) are eligible to apply. Applications should be submitted only by email at the following address:
ysrp@rrcat.gov.in
in the format available on our web page. On receipt of the application a reference number will be communicated and all subsequent communications should mention this reference number.
The candidate should arrange for at least one letter of recommendation, which can be sent either by email (scanned signed copy) or by registered/ speed post quoting the above mentioned reference number. Selected candidates will be paid round-trip train fare by II class (sleeper) and a stipend of Rupees 2,500 per month. In addition, free accommodation will be provided at the RRCAT Guest House. Those selected for the programme will work on a project during their 8 weeks stay at the Centre from May 13, 2013 to July 05, 2013. At the end of the research programme, they will give a presentation on their project/ research work.
