International Workshops

1. Workshop “X- Ray detection with a GEM” attended at CERN, Switzerland

(Instructor Gabriele Croci and Matteo Alfonsi)

We learned how to Characterize GEM detector in all its aspects (gain, rate
capability…) with performing some measurements using an X-Ray source.

2. Workshop “Mad Graph” attended at CERN, Switzerland (instructor Tim Stelzer from
UIUC), it includes the following.

i) Discuss the various aspects of a hard-hadronic collision using a FLASH simulation.

ii) Develop cutting edge Monte Carlo techniques necessary for simulating these
collisions.
iii) Use Mad Event’s new web-based capabilities to produce event simulations for
processes important to LHC physics.
