Tutorials, Workshops and Schools (CMSDAS)
The LHC Physics Center (LPC) at Fermilab has started a new program starting summer 2013. We plan to hold hands-on advanced tutorials and workshops at LPC in view of the CMS upgrade and physics beyond the 8 TeV.
The
"Hands-on Advance Tutorials Session" called (HATS@LPC) will bring together experts at LPC (and CMS) to give hands-on training on advance physics tools and topics, for example jet substructure.
The emphasis here is "Hands-on", meaning that there will be exercises where the attendees can incorporate advanced analysis code into an analysis framework and learn how to understand
and use the new techniques presented.
The advance physics workshops will bring together experts and theorists beyond CMS to assess the state-of-the-art of current LHC
physics, future physics topics and help define the focus of future course to take.
The CMS Data Analysis Schools started 4 years ago at LPC would be continued to held annually.

The following schedule of HATS@LPC has been created. Details on each workshop, including an Indico page and more details about
the technique, will be announced as the workshops get closer. All sessions will take place in WH11 Sunrise at the LPC. There will,
of course, be limited video connections available for those who wish to connect from outside Fermilab. To take full advantage
of these advance tutorials, we strongly encourage the participants to be present at the LPC. Advanced (no cost) registration will
be requested for participation in these events.

Upcoming Workshops .....to be announced soon
Past Workshops
In conjunction with our sister organizations the LHC Physics Center at CERN, The Terascale Analysis Center at DESY, the ATLAS Analysis Center at Argonne, and CTEQ (The Coordinated Theoretical-Experimental Project on QCD) we conduct regular workshops that bring together experimentalists and theorists to discuss LHC and Tevatron data. In November 2010 more than 175 physicists came to the LPC for two days of lively presentations on benchmarks processes of the Standard Model.

International and US students from across the CMS collaboration participate in a highly successful hands-on data analysis school, where eighty per cent of school time is devoted to a series of hands-on exercises, first introducing participants to the tools of data analysis and then later devoted to performing detailed physics measurements with real CMS data in a 2.5 day intensive period by focused teams of about 6-8 students.
