The 19th MCnet school will be held CERN.
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 - N.N.
- Parton Showers, Matching and Merging - N.N.
- Aspects of the EW Standard Model - N.N.
- Model-Independent Measurements - N.N.
- Event Generators for Heavy Ion Collisions - N.N.
- Machine Learning and MC Event Generators - N.N.
- Software Sustainability - N.N.
- Journey to Industry - N.N.
- Diversity and Inclusion in HEP - N.N.
