Welcome to the CERN – Latin-American School of High-Energy Physics! Nick Ellis Director, CERN Schools of Physics

CERN European Organisation for Particle Physics Research

PLEASE! Please put your mobile phones, tablets, etc. on Airplane mode! We need to keep all the available internet bandwidth for the video link to CERN

CERN Based in Geneva, Switzerland Spanning the Swiss-French border More than 10000 users from all over the world, including Latin America Home of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Colliding counter-rotating beams of protons to probe the fundamental constituents of matter and their interactions Huge detector facilities (ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, LHCb) each built and used by many hundreds of physicists Where the Higgs boson was discovered in 2012 by ATLAS and CMS Nobel prize in 2013 for theorists who predicted it Many challenges in engineering and informatics, often with spin-off relevant for society, e.g. World-Wide Web Medical applications: PET scanners, hadron therapy, .. Also a driving force in Open Access publishing The “E” in CERN (“European”) has become “Everywhere”

History of this School CERN – Latin-American Schools go back to 2001 Modeled on European Schools started in 1960s Previous Latin-American Schools 2001 Brazil 2003 Mexico 2005 Argentina 2007 Chile 2009 Colombia 2011 Brazil 2013 Peru 2015 Ecuador 2017 Mexico

Organizers (those present at the School this morning) International Organizing Committee members Nick Ellis (Director, CERN Schools of Physics) Martijn Mulders (Deputy Director, CERN Schools of Physics) Kate Ross (Administrator, CERN Schools of Physics) Local Organizers Malena Tejeda , USON, Mexico (Chair)

Lecture courses

Lectures Lectures last 1h15, plus some time for questions Please don’t be shy to ask questions, even if they seem basic to you! Handouts before each lecture of the slides Insofar as possible Make notes on your handouts Take them to the discussion sessions

Discussion sessions The students are assigned to five groups that meet in parallel in the afternoons to discuss the material from the lecture courses and more general issues Each group is led by an experienced physicist who leads (or stimulates) the discussion and helps to answer questions The lecturers also visit the discussion groups to answer more detailed questions on their courses The same groups of students perform collaborative group projects, with most of the work done in their “free time”

Please! Lectures and discussion sessions Attendance is compulsory Arrive on time No laptop computers No phones or other electronic devices

Programme for today (see web pages for the full programme) 08h30 Welcome and practical announcements 08h45 Opening of the School with VIP guests 09h00 Special lecture on Gravitational Waves, Gabriela Gonzalez 10h30 Coffee break 11h00 Field Theory and EW Standard Model, Carlos Garcia-Canal 12h30 Lunch Free time 15h30 Practical Statistics, Carlos Maña 17h00 Coffee break 17h30 Discussion sessions – until 18h45 19h00 Welcome drink 19h30 Dinner

About the students We have nearly 80 students at this School From 19 different countries! Including 27 students from Mexico About ¾ from Latin America Other students mainly from Europe Mix of experimentalists and phenomenologists working on particle physics and related subjects Mainly working towards PhDs or MScs The School was oversubscribed by > factor of two I.e. more than twice as many applications as available places Many very valid candidates had to be rejected Please make the most of your time at the School!

Active student participation On Sunday 12 March there will be a student poster session after dinner Unique opportunity for students to discuss their own work informally with each other and also with senior scientists On Sunday 19 March there will be an after-dinner session in which student representatives from each group will present the results of their collaborative projects Briefing to the students on this tomorrow afternoon, so I won’t go into details now

Cultural exchange and networking In addition to teaching the science, the School aims to promote cultural exchange and networking between young scientists from different countries Mix students from different countries (Latin America / Europe, etc.) in the groups for the discussion sessions and collaborative projects, and also in shared sleeping accommodation The projects and the student poster session promote discussion and perhaps even future scientific collaboration between participants

Social programme One half-day, and one full-day excursion There are many possibilities for sports and leisure activities at the hacienda Albeit with limited time to enjoy them!

Other educational activities Several activities organized around the School for the benefit of a larger community in Mexico Lectures for local undergraduate students given last week at Juraquilla campus by colleagues from Mexican universities Angel Sanchez Cecilio, Gabriela Murguia, Alfredo Raya Lectures for the general public and seminars for physics undergraduates organised at Juraquilla university campus, benefitting from the presence of eminent scientists at this School Gabriela Gonzalez, Carlos Garcia-Canal, Maria Elena Tejeda Yeomans, Michelangelo Mangano, Antonio Pich, Federico Sanchez, Paris Sphicas, Alejandro Ayala, Myriam Mondragon

Important outreach event yesterday Yesterday was International Women’s Day, and this was reflected in the programme: Message from Julia Tagüeña Parga, Deputy Director for Scientific Development, CONACyT Message from Fabiola Gianotti, Director General of CERN (pre-recorded with subtitles) Lecture on Gravitational Waves by Gabriela Gonzalez, Spokesperson of LIGO Q&A session If you are interested, a recording can be found on Channel 2 of the UNAM webcast service, see: http://webcast.unam.mx/?page_id=17

Enjoy the School! End of part 1

Opening Ceremony CERN – Latin-American School of High-Energy Physics Nick Ellis Director, CERN Schools of Physics On behalf of the International Organizing Committee

Opening Session Introduction A few words of welcome from Q&A session Nick Ellis, on behalf of the International Organizing Committee A few words of welcome from Malena Tejeda, Local Director for the 2017 School Julia Tagüeña Parga, Deputy Director for Scientific Development, CONACyT Fabiola Gianotti, Director General of CERN Q&A session Julia and Fabiola are happy to discuss with you! Special lecture on Gravitational Waves by Gabriela Gonzalez, Spokesperson of LIGO Following last year’s announcement by LIGO of the first experimental observation of gravitational waves

A few words on sponsorship These Schools are only possible because of very generous support from funding bodies in Europe and in Latin America All students from Latin-American institutes are receiving support In some cases, all costs (travel and fee) In other cases, partial or full waiver of the fee Sponsorship also covers costs for teachers attending the School, etc. The international sponsors are CERN and the Spanish funding agency CIEMAT I would particularly like to thank the funding bodies and universities in Mexico that have contributed very generously: BUAP, Cinvestav, CONACyT, MCTP, SMF, UCOL, UGTO, UMSNH, UNAM, USON Their support has been absolutely critical, allowing us to significantly increase the number of students from Mexico and other Latin-American countries benefitting from the School

Welcome to… The students The lecturers The Discussion Leaders We’re here for you! The lecturers Carlos Garcia-Canal, Gabriela Gonzalez, Carlos Maña and Michelangelo Mangano The Discussion Leaders Javier Cobos-Martinez, Gero von Gersdorff, Roger Hernandez Pinto, Federico von der Pahlen, Alejandro Szynkman The local organising team Malena Tejeda has done a fantastic job over the last year! The international organizing team My CERN colleagues Martijn Mulders and Kate Ross Arnulfo Zepeda, Mexican representative on the International Organizing Committee Senior Mexican members of the ALICE and CMS collaborations Arturo Fernandez-Tellez (ALICE), Isabel Pedraza (CMS) Very important guests from two organizations whose support has made this School possible Fabiola Gianotti, Director General of CERN (from CERN by video link) Julia Tagüeña Parga, Deputy Director for Scientific Development, CONACyT
