--------------------
In connection to Amplitudes 2020, we are hosting a summer school on scattering amplitudes. The subjects of the school cover a variety of modern subjects on the forefront of the field. Students are expected to know on-shell amplitudes-basics (such as 4d spinor helicity methods, BCFW recursion, Parke-Taylor formula for gluon tree amplitudes, symmetries and Ward identities), since there will not be lectures on these fundamentals. See below from some suggested readings.
There is no registration fee for the school. Participants have to arrange and pay for their own travel and accommodation (see here for some hotel options). Coffee breaks with snacks and lunches will be provided. In exceptional cases, we may be able to help with financial support. Students apply to the summer school usin the registration link. Further info are at the top of the page. Applications received by March 15 will get primary consideration.
