MCnet Summer School and Cracow School of Theoretical Physics

The 15th MCnet school and 62nd Cracow School of Theoretical Physics will be held in Zakopane, near Cracow, in Poland.

The school provides a five day course of training in the physics and techniques used in modern Monte Carlo event generators via a series of lectures, practical sessions, and discussions with event-generator authors. The school is aimed at advanced doctoral students and early-career postdocs.

Our core sessions comprise a series of introductory lectures on the physics of event generators, further lectures on a wider range of associated topics, a series of hands-on tutorials using all of the MCnet event generators for LHC physics, and evening discussion sessions with Monte Carlo authors.

The full list of lectures is:

• Introduction to Event Generators - Leif LÖNNBLAD (Lund University)
• Parton Shower, Matching and Merging - Simon PLÄTZER (University of Graz)
• The future and challenges of HEP - Michelangelo MANGANO (CERN)
• Aspects of the EW Standard Model - Jonas LINDERT (The University of Sussex)
• Monte Carlo simulation of FCCee physics - Staszek JADACH (IFJ PAN Krakow)
• Model-independent measurements - Jon BUTTERWORTH (University College London)
• Highlights from Run 2 of the LHC - Pawel BRÜCKMAN DE RENSTROM (IFJ PAN Krakow)
• Machine Learning in HEP - Ramon WINTERHALDER (CP3, Louvain-la-Neuve)
• Industrial applications - Albrecht KYRIELEIS, (Jacobs Manchester)
