Young Scientists Corner

Welcome to the home of PANDA YoungScientists, the corner for the young scientists in PANDA.

A young scientist inside PANDA is anyone who

• has not started with a PhD thesis yet, or
• has not finished his/her PhD thesis, or
• has finished his/her PhD thesis in the last year.

We welcome all of those who match these criteria!

Organizational Things

Communication

Mailing List

To communicate issues outside the convents at the PANDA meetings, we have our own mailing list:

panda-youngsters@gsi.de

If you want to register for this, please send a short email to the representative(s).

Slack workspace

In order to make our communication easier and faster, we have a Young Pandas workspace in Slack. If you are not familiarized with it, Slack is a platform that can be used to share ideas both as a group and in personal one-on-one discussions. We always announce things using the mailing list as joining to the Slack workspace is optional. However we highly encourage you to join as the communication there is more dynamic.

Facebook Group

For things less official or formal, we also have a Facebook Group. Check it out at https://www.facebook.com/groups/YoungPANDAs/

PANDA Meetings

Young Scientist Convent

The young scientist convent takes place every collaboration meeting during an afternoon parallel session, in which no senior PANDA members are present. This creates a relaxed atmosphere to encourage the younger members to bring up questions.
The usual format includes a short talk (~ 20 min) about a topic of general interest for the attendants, followed by open discussions about specific issues or concerns (connected to their research or experience in the collaboration) in case somebody wants to bring it up. Sometimes more than one member of the community are facing the same issues and therefore we encourage you to share them to try to come up with suggestions or solutions. If a solution requires action from the collaboration board, this is communicated to them by the representatives.
The representatives of the YSC (Chair and Deputy Chair) are elected within the session in a one year basis (with possibility to one re-election). They have the tasks to organize the convents (3 times a year) and be available to communicate with the collaboration board on behalf of the young scientists if needed.

The next young scientist convent will take place at the PANDA 2021/2 collaboration meeting (Online):

Time: 16:30-18:30 , 16 June 2021, 16:30
Place: https://ruhr-uni-bochum.zoom.us/j/66108938041?pwd=L0lpQWNBMUlUMlowQjZXTEtLQXhPQT09#success

Introduction to PANDA

This session is supposed to help newcomers to the collaboration to find their way within the rather complex PANDA detector. As a start, it is planned to have some introduction talks about the different detector components and (in the future) physics goals. Other young scientists, who are working with this component or are curious to learn more about them, will hold the talks. It was explicitly voted against having senior scientists giving these talks to create an easier atmosphere and help encouraging even the youngest PANDAs to ask questions. The timeframe is one session (2h). One talk shouldn't exceed 10 minutes and in total there shouldn't be more than 4-5 talks per session.

Because we know that not all of you can make it, we transmit the session via Ezuce. The connection information is usually sent via the young panda mailing list a day prior to the session.
