Flavour physics at LHC School 2026
Description
The school is organized under the umbrella of the LHC Heavy Flavour Working Group. It provides a five day course of training in the physics and tools of relevance to the flavour programme of the LHC. The purpose is to provide a general overview of the immense physics potential of the LHC experiments in the area of flavour physics, with a focus on charm and beauty hadrons. The lectures are addressed to senior graduate students and young postdocs who are already working on flavour, or plan to engage in flavour measurements at the LHC. They will cover fundamental elements of theory, as well as tutorials on tools, statistics and analysis techniques specific to flavour physics.
ย
Application deadline: April 15th. All applications will be reviewed at that point, relying in particular on the statement of interest that applicants must provide in their application form. The applicants will be informed the second half of April whether they have been accepted or not. A participation fee of CHF 50 will be charged.
We anticipate a maximum number of participants around 50.
Note that several rooms have been pre-booked at the CERN Hostel. They will be available, after acceptance to the School, on a first-come/first-served. Please check the "accommodation" item in the left-side menu for details.ย
