The Advanced Graduate Lectures on practical Tools, Applications and Techniques in HEP will be held at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory from 16th June to 20th June.
Invited theorists and experimentalists will explain the hands-on reality of designing and running detectors and accelerators, computing, machine learning, Monte-Carlo simulation, trigger, data acquisition and practical statistics. Several of these topics are complemented by tutorials. This course was constructed with 1st year HEP PhD students in mind, but all students and postdocs from any scientific background who find this lecture series useful are welcome.
