The LPC recently held a special series of five Hands-on Advanced Tutorial Sessions featuring Python and Machine Learning as sophisticated tools for CMS data analysis.
LPC
Students have been warming up for the analysis of the new Run 2 data that will come out of the CMS experiment.
Last week the LHC Physics Center at Fermilab hosted a two-day workshop focusing on the future of jet substructure algorithms and their use in physics analyses.
Last week Fermilab and the LHC Physics Center hosted the eighth workshop of the INFIERI network. INFIERI is a European Union-funded initial training network running over a period of five years.
The Distinguished Researcher Program has been a defining feature of the LPC at Fermilab for the last six years. The 21 CMS physicists selected as Distinguished Researchers are accomplished individuals at different stages of their careers.
During the summer months, the LHC Physics Center at Fermilab always experiences a surge of students and faculty, who take advantage of the break in the academic year to concentrate more on research.
In 2016, the delivered luminosity of the LHC should exceed Run 1, and searches for electroweak production and compressed scenarios also will break into new territory. Attendees at the three-day workshop discussed these searches.
An inspiration to early-career scientists and one of the leaders of the CMS data analysis school, Boaz Klima is reappointed as co-coordinator for the LHC Physics Center at Fermilab.
Following the LHC’s expanded reach at 13 TeV as well as the recent progress shown in Run 1 analyses that are being finalized or maturing, we can anticipate new knowledge and perhaps some surprises.
Meenakshi Narain of Brown University has been appointed a second two-year term as LHC Physics Center co-coordinator.
