2023 HEPCAT Summer School, UC San Diego:
The second HEPCAT summer school was hosted by UC San Diego from June 20 to June 30, 2023. The schedule is shown below. There are 12 lectures delivered by mentors across different topical groups. Students work on 8 experimental modules with hands-on activities. An annual meeting was hosted on the last day (June 29). Last year’s fellow students presented their research progress.
Hands-on activities with eight modules:
- HEPCAT_Dark_Radio
- Exercise on LGAD sensors
- PSD in Scintillators
- Liquid Argon Lab
- Ultrafast Inorganic Scintillator
- FPGA lab
- CaloGAN Simulation
- Fast ML on FPGA
