«The 13th edition of the course on Physics at the LHC-Large Hadron Collider is organised by the Laboratory for Instrumentation and Experimental Particle Physics (LIP) and the Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology PhD international programme (IDPASC).

The objective of the course is to introduce the physics, analysis methods and results on the physics areas covered by the LHC experiments. Emphasis is placed on the search for new physics, in particular phenomena at the basis of the electroweak symmetry breaking. Benchmark channels in proton-proton collisions will be discussed in detail, covering the identification of the objects involved, the signal and background properties, the background estimation and the S/B discriminants, the evaluation of systematical errors, and the extraction and interpretation of the final results.

For Técnico students the course is eligible for credits — for that, students must register in the subject “Topics in Particle Physics” in Fenix system».
