12th International IDPASC school

The International Doctorate Network in Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology (IDPASC, https://idpasc.lip.pt) is an interdisciplinary network whose aim is to train a new generation of high-level experts in the fields of Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology.

The 12th edition of the IDPASC school will be held in Granada (Spain), organized by the High Energy Particle Physics group of the University of Granada with the support of the IDPASC network and Laboratory of Instrumentation and Experimental Particle Physics, LIP.

This school aims at training the next generation of physicists that will investigate open questions in the PASC domains in the coming decades. The school offers a multi-disciplinary approach that will help each student, which starts to specialize in one domain, to keep a broad view on the different PASC domains. This will be a key skill to optimally use the complementarity between different approaches to shed light on the same problems with a different angle such as Dark Matter, physics beyond the Standard Model or multi-messenger physics. On top of the main courses, the school will also propose some hands-on session in specific domains such as ML for PASC problems.

Granada is a lively city with a rich cultural life. It has historic ties to the Mediterranean culture, including the South of Europe and the North of Africa. Its University is among the oldest in the world and it contains a large number of  world-renowned monuments like the Alhambra or the Cathedral. It is also located at a perfect spot for recreational activities in the form of hiking in the mountains (including Sierra Nevada), visiting traditional mountain villages (Alpujarra) or the tropical coast of Granada.

As part of the School program, students are welcome to attend the public talk on “Science in Al Andalus”, by Professor Abdelhak Djouadi (University of Granada).

If you want to apply for one of these grants indicate so in the registration form. Registration deadline: June 23, 2023.

2023 JETSCAPE online school

The JETSCAPE online school will be held from July 17, 2023 to July 28, 2023. The school will be held online on zoom so that it is accessible to participants from around the globe. The school will meet for several hours each day from 9AM-noon US Eastern Time, which is suitable for the majority of participants.

The school is aimed at graduate students and postdocs, in both theory and experiment. The focus will be on the implementation of jet quenching and hydrodynamic calculations in the JETSCAPE event generator framework, and its application to experimental data analysis. Emphasis will also be placed on the rigorous comparison between simulations and experimental data using Bayesian methods. The school will consist of lectures on theoretical and experimental aspects of relativistic hydrodynamics and jet quenching, together with extensive hands-on practical sessions working with the JETSCAPE code and Bayesian analysis methods.

Attendance at the school is by application, and the number of attendees will be limited. Please forward this message to students and postdocs in your group who may not have received this.

The registration for the school is now open. The deadline for registration is July 10, 2023.
