August 18 - 29, 2025
The Experimental High Energy Physics Directorate (EHEPD) at the National Centre for Physics (NCP), Islamabad is pleased to announce the 14th School on LHC Physics, taking place from 18 - 29 August, 2025. This annual event has become a premier platform for students, researchers, and professionals working in the field of high energy physics.We anticipate hosting over 100 in-person participants from universities, R&D institutions, and industry.
The school offers a unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge tools and techniques used to analyze datasets, O(PB), generated by LHC experiments comparable in volume to data processed by tech giants like Google, but with far higher precision and scientific rigor. Participants will explore how state-of-the-art accelerators, detectors, data science methods, and AI technologies are integrated to record, process, and interpret these big data sets unlocking the secrets of the universe at the smallest scales.
What to Expect
- Synchrotrons like the LHC
- Accelerators in Science, Medicine &Industry
- Big Data Analytics and Machine Learning
- Statistical Methods for Large-Scale Data Analysis
- The Standard Model and Beyond
- Top Quark, Higgs Boson, and Electroweak Interactions
- Exploring SUSY, Dark Matter and Long Lived Particles
- Physics Object Reconstruction, and Data Acquisition
- Advances in Particle Detectors and Emerging Technologies
- The Next Generation of Particle Colliders
