2008 CTEQ - MCnet Summer School
|
The fifteenth school of the Coordinated Theoretical-Experimental
Project on QCD (CTEQ) and the second school of the Monte Carlo Marie
Curie Research Training Network (MCnet) will be held jointly in
Debrecen, Hungary
8-16 August 2008
A combination of broad lectures on QCD theory, phenomenology and analysis and a practical approach to event generator physics and techniques, with hands-on sessions and talks on using them in real analyses
References in preparation for the Summer School can be found on the CTEQ Pedagogical Page

Participants will have the opportunity for extensive, guided hands-on experience in running various event generators using the University of Debrecen computer facilities.
Application materials must be received by 30 April 2008. Applications are particularly encouraged from women and other under-represented sections of the community. Please note that enrollment will be limited to 80 participants.
A registration fee of EURO 400
covers the participant's portion of lodging as well as breakfast and
evening meal for the duration of the School. Bursaries are available
for participants from Less Favoured Regions and New Member States of
the EU and others in financial need.
