Detector Understanding with First LHC Data

Important news: Please everybody read and follow the NAF instructions (attached as a text file below) well (several weeks) before the workshop. This is mandatory if you want to follow the tutorials which are held on the German National Analysis Facility (NAF). ======================================= From June 29 to July 3 2009, a workshop on "Detector Understanding with First LHC Data" will take place at DESY, Hamburg. The workshops is intended mainly for ATLAS and CMS Ph.D. students and aims at increasing their understanding of the reconstruction and calibration of physics objects (electrons, muons, taus, jets, missing ET, b-tagging). The workshop will consist of lectures covering both past experience (from colliders like Tevatron or HERA) and the efforts and plans for the LHC. In addition, exercises are foreseen in which the usage and problems of the various physics objects and methods can be learned in the experiments' software environments. The workshop program is completed by a number of talks on the first 100 days of physics at Tevatron, and on physics with the first data at the LHC. The workshop fee is 50 Euro and has to paid in cash at the registration. For further questions, send an email to anacen@desy.de
