Hadron Collider School - HASCO
The main objectives of the hadron collider physics school (HASCO) are introductory topics in
elementary particle physics, in particular in hadron collider physics as relevant for research at the
Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This includes lectures and tutorials on theoretical foundations of the
Standard Model of elementary particle physics as well as experimental techniques to test it.
Furthermore, a focus is placed on statistical data analysis and an introduction to the software package
ROOT. In addition, students will have the opportunity to discuss state of the art measurements and
results with senior scientists in the field.
The target group were Bachelor, Master and early PhD students, i.e. mainly beginners in the field. The main activities were lectures, tutorials,
and student seminars. These were complemented by excursions, and sport activities.
The learning outcome was better and more compatible theoretical knowledge of the fundamentals of elementary particle physics, but more
importantly also hands-on experience with widely used software tools, statistics data analysis and experimental measurement techniques.
The outputs are software programs, group presentations, and short summary reports. The academic achievements were be credited with
ECTS points.
The school didl take place at the Georg-August-Universtät Göttingen from 20.July - 1. August 2014.
