The YETI school serves to promote interaction between theorists and experimentalists at the early career stage and to encourage interest in phenomenology. YETI aims to give a pedagogical introduction to a particular area of topical interest in particle physics.
This year, the school's topic will be collider phenomenology. It will cover selected topics in collider phenomenology, including: precision Higgs boson measurements, precision calculations, event simulation and upcoming experiments.
The topics will be covered from the perspective of taking experimental measurements, making theoretical predictions, and interpreting results phenomenologically. As is traditional for YETI, the school will feature a range of lectures as well as hands-on workshops.
The school will be held in person, and PhD students studying in the UK and/or from the UK are invited and encouraged to attend. The meeting is sponsored by the IPPP; meals, accommodation at Grey College, and travel within the UK will be provided free of charge.
We encourage participants to register before the school (it's free!) so that we can keep track of the number of attendees and send relevant announcements. Please note that the number of participants is limited and, if necessary, a selection will be carried out with results announced to the registrants by the end of June.
