The 'experimental tools in particle physics' mini school is a six-days program, divided into two parts three-days each. The mini-school is for freshly graduated and undergraduate students, that provides an accelerated learning opportunity for talented learners. The program emphasizes particle physicist skills and scientific background needed for physics analysis, as well as creative and original thinking, independence and initiative, and responsibility and team work. Successful applicants are self-motivated, reliable, curious, able to work co-operatively with others, and value thinking for its own sake.
