2nd CERN-Fermilab Hadron Collider Physics Summer School, June 6-15, 2007, CERN

with links to the academic programme and the application procedure.

The APPLICATION DEADLINE IS 9 MARCH 2007. The results of the selection process will be announced shortly thereafter. The goal of the CERN-Fermilab Hadron Collider Physics Summer Schools is to offer students and young researchers in high energy physics a concentrated syllabus on the theory and experimental challenges of hadron collider physics. The first school in the series, held last summer at Fermilab, covered extensively the physics at the Tevatron collider experiments. The second school, to be held at CERN, will focus on the technology and physics of the LHC experiments. Emphasis will be placed on the first years of data-taking at the LHC and on the discovery potential of the programme. The series of lectures will be supported by in-depth discussion sessions and will include the theory and phenomenology of hadron collisions, discovery physics topics, detector and analysis techniques and tools, as well as the preparatory strategies of the experiments towards readiness for first collisions at the LHC.

Students from around the world attended classes at the first CERN-Fermilab Hadron Collider Physics Summer School in 2006 at Fermilab. The 2007 School will be held at CERN, home of the Large Hadron Collider.
