CERN-Fermilab Hadron Collider Physics Summer School 2015 - Official Announcement

2015 marks an important year for hadron collider physics: 20 years after the discovery of the top quark at the Tevatron and 3 years after the discovery of the Higgs boson at the LHC, the community is gearing up towards the start of Run 2 of the LHC, where we look forward to exploring uncharted territory for new physics and to measuring the properties of the Higgs boson.

To realize the full potential of these developments, CERN and Fermilab are jointly offering a series of "Hadron Collider Physics Summer Schools", to prepare young researchers for these exciting times. The school has alternated between CERN and Fermilab, and will return to CERN for the tenth edition, from 24 June to 3 July 2015.

The CERN-Fermilab Hadron Collider Physics Summer School is an advanced school targeted particularly at young postdocs and senior PhD students working towards the completion of their thesis project, in both experimental HEP and phenomenology. Other schools, such as the CERN European School of High Energy Physics, may provide more appropriate training for students in experimental HEP who are working towards their PhDs.

Calendar and Details

Mark your calendar for 24 June – 3 July 2015, when CERN will welcome students to the tenth CERN-Fermilab Hadron Collider Physics Summer School. The School will include nine days of lectures and discussions, and one free day in the middle of the period. Limited scholarship funds will be available to support some participants.

Updated information and online applications are available at the school web site: http://cern.ch/hcpss/2015 .

The deadline for applications and reference letters is 28 February 2015.
