The goal of the school is to give extensive courses on the basic topics of theoretical, computational and experimental particle physics for Egyptian as well as regional graduate students. The prospective outcome of the school is to train qualified members capable of joining the Egyptian national project related to the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in CERN.
The school is for five days, from Saturday 26 January to Thursday 31 January 2019. Everyday, there will be two lectures in the morning session before lunch, then one more lecture and a training session after lunch.
The school is one of the main activities of the Egyptian Network of High Energy Physics (ENHEP) which was established in September 2008 under the patronage of the Minister of Higher Education & Scientific Research, and the president of the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology (ASRT). It acts as a nucleus for the scientific cooperation between Egyptian experts in the areas of high energy physics and CERN in the LHC project.
The ENHEP aims at linking the Egyptian high energy physicists together with the CMS experiment at CERN. It also aims at establishing experimental expertise for the LHC accelerator spare parts and high standard electronic equipment, as well as developing simulation techniques that have environmental and industrial impact. Moreover, taking a leading part in the expected revolution in particle physics, and promoting scientific collaboration between researchers and Egyptian academic institutions are two of the main objectives of the ENHEP, in addition to training young scientists in experimental and theoretical particle physics and data analysis.
