    Overview

    This course targets Egyptian students who want to work in the field of experimental high-energy physics. The course is project-oriented, starting with a tutorial and hands-on exercises using CERN ROOT libraries. The main topics of the course are: 1-the Design and simulation of calorimeter detectors 2- A hands-on project to design and simulate a calorimeter using ROOT. The project is preceded by a crash course in detector physics and the basics of particle interaction with matter. The project provides a great opportunity to write (from scratch) a simulation of a particle detector and provides a deep insight to:
    • Monte-Carlo simulation
    • Reconstruction
    • Particle identification and analysis techniques.
    The project allows experimenting with analysis techniques at a small scale with a full handle on all different layers of the analysis. Such an experience is of immense importance to have before joining LHC-scale experiments. If you are eligible, don’t miss such an opportunity, and apply before the deadline, 06 Aug 2022 at 23:59:59.

    Topics

    • Introduction to detector physics.
    • Introduction to MC methods.
