What is this workshop?
This is the inaugural pyhf workshop for users and developers across all of physics (following the 2023 Belle II pyhf workshop). The goals of the workshop are twofold:
- Gather the pyhf user community together to learn from their experience and better understand what changes will improve things for the most number of people.
We expect to have contributions from:- Scikit-HEP
- IRIS-HEP
- ATLAS
- CMS (sorry this conflicts with CMS week)
- Belle II
- MicroBooNE
- SModelS
- MadAnalysis 5
- and more
- Educate users who are interested in becoming contributors to the pyhf codebase and onboard those interested in becoming project maintainers. This part of the workshop will take the form of "sprints" (inspired from the SciPy conference sprints) where contributors can work on making contributions with the development team. Despite their name, the sprints are meant to be relaxed reserved times for development, and aren't meant to be chaotic or exhausting.
Call for Abstracts
The user section of the workshop will include talks that will be a mix of invited and solicited abstract proposals. A call for abstracts will be announced in October 2023.
Should I come to this workshop?
If you use pyhf in any way for your work, or if you would like to learn more about pyhf, then yes! You and your ideas are very welcome.
Thanks to support from NumFOCUS there will be limited travel financial aid that can be applied for. See the registration for more details.
Connecting remotely with Zoom
While the workshop will primarily be in-person there will be a Zoom connection available for those who are unable to travel to CERN.
