Description
The Monte-Carlo tools play an indispensable role for our understanding to the subatomic structure, among them the Madgraph/Madevent package is a popular and interface-friendly one which is favored by more than 1000 physicists, both theorists and experimentalists. We organize a 5-day school from 22/May/2013 to 26/May/2013 to introduce the most relevant physics at the LHC. By using Madgraph/Madevent package as a focus example, the school will expose the core structure on the Monte Carlo simulation techniques at the LHC. There are 15 lectures and extra 10 tutorial sessions in total for students to finish the exercising projects in groups. Lectures will cover the main parts of Monte Carlo techniques: Feynrules, Madgraph, Sherpa, Fastjet, and PGS/DELPHES as well as experimental statistics. Students, postdoctors, and young researchers, who are working on collider physics, are encouraged to participate this school. No registration fee is required. We will provide local expenses for the participants, including accommodations and meals. Due to the tight budget, travel expenses of students must be covered by their supervisors.
