The Academy of Scientific Research and Technology Egyptian Network of High Energy Physics (ASRT-ENHEP) Prof. Amr Radi26/9/2013 CMS Management Meeting1 Prof. Amr Radi Ain Shams University & The British University in Egypt Cairo, Egypt

ENHEP Aims ENHEP had been established since 2008 to: Promote scientific collaboration between researchers and Egyptian academic institutions Train young scientists on theoretical assumptions, experimental particle physics, data analysis, etc… Engage with CERN as one of the most challenging international collaborations Prof. Amr Radi26/9/2013 CMS Management Meeting2

ENHEP Goals Establish experimental expertise for LHC accelerator/detector parts and high standard electronic equipment. Develop simulation techniques of environmental and industrial impact. Take a leading part in the expected revolution in particle physics.. Prof. Amr Radi26/9/2013 CMS Management Meeting3
