FCC-Tutorials

• Time for a change in the themes tutorial page?

  • Some examples:
    • https://pydata-sphinx-theme.readthedocs.io/
    • https://pradyunsg.me/furo/
    • https://sphinx-book-theme.readthedocs.io

• Software Tutorial in the BNL-CERN school on Physics at Future Colliders

  • https://indico.cern.ch/event/1661010/
  • ~50 participants
  • Generation to Analysis tutorial - https://github.com/HEP-FCC/GenToAna-Tutorial

• Keeping an eye on FCC Physics week 2027! (April 12-16) Some ideas to be developed:

  • FCC Tutorial: In-person - One or two days before the FCC Physics week
  • Two small sessions for beginners and advanced users
  • FCC Analysis Hackathon sessions
  • Consider the fact that absolute beginners don’t usually come to this meeting
  • Ask Early Career Forum
  • Follow up on these possibilities

AOB

• Look for other events in which we could have trainings or hackathons
