5th Particle Physics Computing Summer School held
arl
The Computing Summer School, organized by the Particle Physics Computing Consortium of Japan, was held for five days from August 1 to August 5, 2022. The Particle Physics Computing Consortium is a community on computing and software technology in the fields of elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, cosmic rays, and astrophysics. This summer school for graduate students is one of the main activities of the consortium.
This year, 39 students from 14 universities participated in the summer school, which was held at KEK's Tsukuba Campus. Seven staff members of the KEK Computing Research Center contributed as lecturers. The course content covered a wide range of topics, including programming languages, Deep Learning, and Quantum Computing. The participants were asked to choose their own practical training theme during the summer school, and to present the results on the final day. Despite the short training time, many presentations showed a great deal of ingenuity and creativity. We hope that this summer school will help the participants in their future research activities.
This summer school was supported by the International Center for Elementary Particle Physics at the University of Tokyo, and the IINAS-NX program of the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK).
