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,
