Hadron Collider School - HASCO 2017 The main objectives of the hadron collider physics school (HASCO) are introductory topics in  elementary particle physics, in particular in hadron collider physics as relevant for research at the  Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This includes lectures and tutorials on theoretical foundations of the  Standard Model of elementary particle physics as well as experimental techniques to test it.  Furthermore, a focus is placed on statistical data analysis and an introduction to the software package  ROOT. In addition, students will have the opportunity to discuss state of the art measurements and  results with senior scientists in the field. The target group are Bachelor and Master students, i.e. mainly beginners in the field. The main activities are lectures, tutorials, and student  seminars. These are complemented by excursions, and sport activities.  The learning outcome is better and more compatible theoretical knowledge of the fundamentals of elementary particle physics, but more  importantly also hands-on experience with widely used software tools, statistics data analysis and experimental measurement techniques.  The outputs are software programs, group presentations, and short summary reports. The academic achievements will be credited with ECTS  points.  The school will take place at the Georg-August-Universtät Göttingen from 16. - 21. July 2017.  Details of the HASCO school 2012 can be found here.  Details of the HASCO school 2013 can be found here.  Details of the HASCO school 2014 can be found here.  Details of the HASCO school 2015 can be found here.  Details of the HASCO school 2016 can be found here.
