AI Thread Summary
A new forum member is seeking advice on pursuing a PhD in physics in the US or Canada, specifically in experimental nuclear physics, and is inquiring about scholarship opportunities. It is noted that funding, including tuition waivers and stipends, is commonly available for PhD programs in the US. The discussion emphasizes the importance of providing additional details such as academic grades and research experience to receive tailored recommendations for schools. A specific suggestion is made to consider institutions with research groups involved in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Lab, as this aligns with the member's research interests. Stony Brook University is mentioned as a potential application target due to its proximity to RHIC. The conversation also touches on the possibility of transitioning from nuclear physics to solar energy, although no specific guidance is provided on that topic.

Hello,

I am a new member of forum. Firstly, i want to say thank you everyone who contributed on the forum. i want to do my phd on physics on america or Canada. i don t have an TOFEL scores for now,but i belive,i will have a score soon. Can i find a scholarship on there before long.Which schools do you recommed for me on there (or another country).


Thanks a lot

It's very common to get funded (tuition waiver and stipend) for a PhD in the US - so common that I'd say don't accept an offer that doesn't include it. We've got more than 100 schools offering a PhD in physics - we need more information to help you choose one to apply to, like what are your grades, how much research experience do you have, and what field are you interested in.
 
thank u eri

my research area is experimantel nuclear physics. i did my master thesis about gamma rays and have a few Scientific activities about my area. However i can work another research areas
 
Hello guys! Pls is it possible for one to go for PhD in solar energy after MSc in nuclear and radiation physics? Thanks.
 
Hi Erenphysics. If you're interested in experimental nuclear physics, I'm guessing the way to go is to find a school with a research group that's involved in RHIC (Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider). RHIC is based at Brookhaven National Lab in New York, and is currently doing research on the quark-gluon plasma and other related stuff. No matter where you go, you'll likely take classes for two or three years, and then get sent out to RHIC. There's a nuclear group at my department, and all of the experimental students get sent there during the summers, and sometimes during the school year too. Therefore it makes sense to just go ahead and apply to places that are geographically close. Stony Brook might be a good place to apply.

Innocentaj, I do't know anything about solar energy. Sorry I can't help.
 
Thanks for your useful informations
 

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
