SR2 (DESY)

The 4th "Introduction to Terascale Physics" will take place from 25 February to 1March at DESY, Hamburg.

The school comprises lectures on basic and advanced LHC topics, on non-LHC experiments, and a tutorial over four half-days covering basic object reconstruction, reconstruction of simple final states, reconstruction of top final states and searches for new physics.
