Description
The MCnet-LPCC school on Event Generators for LHC is the 6th school organized by MCnet. The school is aimed at doctoral students and young post docs and is intended to impart a deeper understanding of event-generator physics for both experimental and theoretical uses. It will be held at CERN from Jul 23 - Jul 27 2012. Lectures take place in the TH Auditorium (Building 4, top floor).
Topics:
Monte Carlo Methods (L. Lonnblad)
Event Generators (M. Seymour)
Jets (M. Cacciari)
Matching to Matrix Elements (S. Hoeche)
Monte Carlo for Higgs (C. Mariotti)
MC Uncertainties and Tuning (H. Schulz)
Monte Carlo modeling for Heavy Ions (A. Beraudo)
Beyond the Standard Model (G. Servant)
Rivet and Event-Generator Tutorials (D. Grellscheid & H. Hoeth)
Local organizing committee: P. Skands (chair), S. Ask, G. Corti, K. Hamilton, B. Heinemann, M. Mangano, F. Moortgat, A. Morsch, W. Pokorski, J. Winter.
The CERN hostel reception is open until 01:00 am. Anyone arriving later than this can pick up their keys from the security guard on duty at Entrance B.
