The primary objective of the school is to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles underlying the simulation of gaseous detectors, with particular emphasis on their applications in high-energy physics and related fields.
The program is structured to combine theoretical instruction with practical experience. Morning sessions will consist of lectures devoted to theoretical foundations, while afternoon sessions will be dedicated to hands-on exercises. This structure is intended to reinforce the concepts introduced during the lectures and to enhance the participants’ practical competence in simulation techniques.
The knowledge and skills acquired throughout the school will enable participants to design and conduct detector simulations that meet the performance requirements of experiments at future colliders, as well as other applications such as beam monitoring in medical physics.
A comparable event was organized only once in the past, in 2011, under the auspices of the RD51 Collaboration. The present edition will build upon that legacy, featuring lectures and tutorials delivered by internationally recognized experts in the field. Through this initiative, the school aims to foster the development of the next generation of specialists in gaseous detector simulation.
