School on Particle Physics in the LHC Era
With the recent results from the 2011-2012 LHC runs, including the discovery of a new Higgs-like particle, it is timely to review what was learned and what can be learned in the near future about the High Energy Frontier. The purposes of the School are to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the Standard Model, to familiarize them with aspects of collider physics, to explore what may lay beyond the Standard Model, and to give them the necessary tools to test different models with the newest data.
Start time: April 1
Ends on: April 12
Venue: São Paulo, Brazil
Organizers: Marcela Carena (Fermilab), Aldo Deandrea (Lyon), Ricardo D’Elia Matheus (IFT-UNESP), Rogerio Rosenfeld (ICTP-SAIFR and IFT-UNESP), Giacomo Cacciapaglia (Lyon)
Lecturers:
. Standard Model @ LHC – Chris Quigg (Fermilab)
. Collider Physics – Joe Lykken (Fermilab)
. QCD – Daniel de Florian (University of Buenos Aires)
. Beyond SM @ LHC (Weakly coupled extensions) – Zackaria Chacko (Maryland) and Marcela Carena (Fermilab)
. Beyond SM @ LHC (Strongly coupled extensions) – Eduardo Ponton (ICTP-SAIFR and IFT-UNESP)
. Numerical Tools for Physics @ LHC – Alexander Belyaev (Southampton)
