Description

Welcome to the HSF-India/ePIC Workshop!

(Click for full resolution photo.)

The goals of this event include:

  • Workshop to discuss interests and plans for projects on simulation for EIC in India
  • Introduction to EIC/ePIC physics and detector
  • Tutorial on ePIC software
  • Dedicated training and time to work on topics in detector simulation, tracking, Particle identification (PID), analysis, etc

This event is intended to be helpful for early career members of the EIC community and those interested in getting involved to learn about the steps to become productive and to participate in open projects. It is also intended to help faculty and scientists to learn about ongoing activities and contribute to several areas in simulation.ย 

This event is sponsored by HSF-India. People are the key to successful software. The HSF-India project aims to promote the development of international research software collaborations. This is the sixth in a series of workshops for software and data analysis skills essential for doing research software in physics.ย 

A set of pre-workshop lectures covering some of the prerequisite materials for this workshop are planned, more details are forthcoming. These will be mandatory for students not already familiar with the material to ensure that everyone is prepared for the workshop (additional information to be provided after registration).ย 

This event is supported by the Department of Physics, IIT Bombay and the U.S. National Science Foundation grant OISE-2201990.
