CMSDAS is designed to help CMS physicists from across the collaboration to learn, or to learn more, about CMS analysis and thereby to participate in significant ways in any physics analysis including future discoveries. It enables physicists beginning analysis to easily join an ongoing analysis in a productive way. Since 2012, our first global year, schools have been held at Fermilab, Pisa, Taipei, DESY, Kolkata, Bari and Korea and over 1000 CMS students have now participated in the program. The format for each CMSDAS is very similar and some of the same facilitators attend each school.
The workshop offers a structured learning environment:
Plenary sessions: teaching students about general aspects of CMS experiment and physics at the LHC.
Short Exercises: Interactive sessions focused on analysis tools and techniques with hands on training.
Long Exercises: Students learn to do a full CMS analysis in a nutshell.
A successful track record: We have a history of having several CMS DAS schools in different parts of the world; see link for CMS DAS schools in the USA and link (internal) for details of CMS DAS schools at CERN and other parts of the world.
