Overview
The Swiss Institute for Particle Physics (CHIPP) has been founded in order to coordinate both the research as well as the outreach and education activities of the Swiss Institutes involved in Particle and Astro-Particle Physics. A first step towards coordinated education activities was the organization of the very first CHIPP PhD school in January 2008 in Naefels, Glarus. Motivated by the success of this first edition, CHIPP decided to organize a second edition of the school.
The research activities of CHIPP are best described by the three pillars "High Energy Frontier", "Neutrino Physics" and "Astro-Particle Physics and Cosmology".
Therefore it was clear from the beginning that the CHIPP School should offer lectures on all these three pillars. Whereas the last time the focus was on LHC physics and accelerators, with two topical lecture series, this time the focus will be on Neutrino Physics and Modern Detectors. These main lectures are complemented by shorter lecture series on LHC physics and Astro-Physics/Cosmology. All lectures are given by international and national experts.
There will also be a special invited seminar on a topic completely outside of our field (XFEL), as well as student talks.
The School Fee (all inclusive) is CHF 700.00.
