August 31 - September 4, 2009

Parma, Italy 


The  IV Parma International School of Theoretical Physics  will be held on the University Campus of the University of  Parma from August 31  to September 4, 2009. The aim of this year's School is to present a wide panorama of current research on LHC Physics. World leading scientists will give an authoritative introduction to what are considered as the most relevant  theoretical activities aimed at the Physics of LHC.  It is assumed that participants have already received a specific training in Quantum Field Theory and Theoretical Particle Physics. The School consists of academic lectures and discussion sessions. There will be plenty of time for other activities in the Campus of Parma University, sports, culture, sightseeing.
  • The School  is open to students from all countries.
  • Official language will be English.
  • The number of participants will be limited to 60.
