Description

** Registration deadline: March 9, 2012 **
 

As the LHC grasps more and more data, particle physics is experiencing an exciting time. The next Cargese summer school is targetted particularly at advanced graduate students and young postdocs, with a strong interest in collider physics. Theorists, model builders, phenomenologists, and experimentalists with an inclination for theory are all encouraged to apply. The school will share the same spirit as the 2010 school.  The school unfortunately overlaps with the Scottish Universities Summer School in Physics in St Andrews, which however is more oriented to experimentalists. There will be three 1.5 h lectures per day followed by discussion sessions in the afternoon. Students will also have the opportunity to present their work in short talks if they wish.


Place:

The school will take place at the Institute for Scientific Studies in Cargese, Corsica.
