*11th MCnet Summer School: 2-9 July 2017, Lund, Sweden*
**

The MCnet collaboration is pleased to announce its eleventh international
summer school on event generator physics and techniques. It will take
place in the city of Lund[visitlund.se] 
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.visitlund.se_en&d=DwMDaQ&c=lz9TcOasaINaaC3U7FbMev2lsutwpI4--09aP8Lu18s&r=zjNnRyqZaKeBeMueMyDi7Q&m=tkAk8nHl-eNxVFLH_K3noKQOd5fmGQVJAftBPE4nw7Q&s=om2iiXs_A0vzGeJXGNN8dW-aJOvdx2eAsXdMOq-AyGE&e=> 
(Sweden), with arrival on Sunday 2 July and
departure Friday afternoon 7 July.

The school provides a five day course of training in the physics and
techniques used in modern Monte Carlo event generators via a series of
lectures and practical sessions. The school is aimed at advanced doctoral
students and young postdocs.

Our core sessions comprise a series of introductory lectures on the  
physics
of event generators, further lectures on a wide range of topics,  a 
series of
hands-on tutorials using all of the MCnet event generators  for LHC 
physics,
and evening discussion sessions with Monte Carlo authors.

The full list of lectures is:

  * *Introduction to event generators*
    - Peter Skands (Monash, Melbourne)
  * *Matching and merging*
    - Stefan Höche (SLAC, Stanford)
  * *Heavy-ion and cosmic-ray generators*
    - Klaus Werner (SUBATECH, Nantes)
  * *Simulation of Beyond-the-Standard-Model physics*
    - Valentin Hirschi (ETH, Zürich)
  * *Effective field theories*
    - Eleni Vryonidou (NIKHEK, Amsterdam)
  * *Simulation of neutrino physics*
    - Costas Andreopoulos (Rutherford & Liverpool)
  * *Tuning of generators*
    - Holger Schulz (Durham)
  * *Machine learning and applications (industrial application)*
    - Michel Herquet (B12 Consulting, Louvain-la-Neuve)
  * *Outreach*
    - Christina Isaxon (Lund)

Most local expenses for students are funded by the EU through the
MCnetITN3 Initial Training Network: there is no registration fee, and
student housing and some meals will be provided free of charge.
A few travel bursaries are available for participants from Convergence
Regions of the EU and others in financial need, whose participation
would otherwise be prevented.

Applications must be received by *1st of May 2015*. Bursary decisions will
be made after that date - students that have an urgent need for earlier
information on acceptance should contact: school at montecarlonet.org
