The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world largest particle accelerator ever built at CERN, Switzerland. The Run-I phase of the LHC machine has already achieved the exciting discovery of Higgs boson in July, 2012 using 8 TeV centre of mass energy of proton-proton collisions. In the last year of 2015, the machine has successfully operated even at the higher centre of mass energy of 13 TeV with increased luminosities during Run-II phase. The enhanced centre of mass energy and luminosities are expected to play a crucial role in investigating standard model physics and beyond.

Purpose

The main purpose of this school is to train graduate and undergraduate students and strengthen the knowledge of young researchers in the field of experimental and theoretical high energy physics. The school will be covering physics-oriented lectures, data analysis tutorials and hands-on exercises designed by various local and foreign experts in the field.

Topics

The scope of the school contains following major topics:

• Standard Model Physics and Beyond
• Physics of Higgs, W and Z Bosons
• Top Quark Physics
• Searches for Supersymmetry, Extra Dimensions and Exotic Particles
• Detectors in High Energy Physics
• Programming Languages (C++, python)
• Analysis Framework (ROOT)
• Event Generator - PYTHIA
• CMS Software (CMSSW)
• Object Identification and Reconstruction
• Raw Data to Physics Publication
• Data Access using Worldwide LHC Computing GRID
• Statistical Techniques in High Energy Physics

Format

The designed format of the school is to built the knowledge of the students from basic level to an ultimate physics goal through lectures, tutorials and exercise sessions facilitated by the field experts. It also contains inspirational lectures from well-known physicists around the globe.

Participation

Students of M.Sc, MS, M.Phil, Ph.D and young scientists of academic and R&D organizations, who are already working or intend to work in the field of particle physics can apply. The successful applicants will be receiving an invitation letter after selection made by the technical committee and the list of accepted participants will be posted on NCP website.
