Proton Structure in the LHC Era

22 Oct 2012, 08:00 → 24 Oct 2012, 18:00 Europe/Berlin

Mon-Tue: 28c, Wed: SR4 bld1 (DESY Hamburg)

The „Proton Structure in the LHC Era“ school will make the participants familiar with the recent developments necessary for studying the impact of the experimental measurements in understanding the proton structure, in particular, parton distribution functions(PDFs). The school will consist of lectures covering the underlying physics and various ingredients of PDF determination as well as tutorials and practical exercises.

The school fee is 40 Euro and has to be paid cash at the registration desk.

A map of the DESY site can be found here - 28c is located at the north of the DESY area, the best way is to take the road to the DESY side entrance and to then take the road to the PETRA-III hall and continue a few more meters!
