Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the annual JETSCAPE school (https://indico.bnl.gov/event/11277/), to be held online via zoom from July 19, 2021 to July 30, 2021 due to the ongoing pandemic. The school will meet for several hours each day from 9AM-noon US Eastern Time which is suitable for the majority of participants.

The school is aimed at PhD students and postdocs, in both theory and experiment. The focus will be on the implementation of jet quenching and hydrodynamic calculations in the JETSCAPE framework, and its application to experimental data analysis. Emphasis will also be placed on the rigorous comparison between simulations and experimental data using Bayesian methods. The school will consist of lectures on theoretical and experimental aspects of jets and jet quenching, together with extensive hands-on practical sessions working with the JETSCAPE code and Bayesian analysis methods.

Attendance at the school is by application, and the number of attendees will be limited. Please forward this message to students and postdocs in your group who may not have received this.
The registration is not yet open, in order to avoid spamming people, if you are interested in participating in the school, please inform Prof. Christine Nattrass (cnattras AT utk.edu) with “JETSCAPE School 2021” as the subject line, and we will notify you whenever the registration is ready.

Best Regards,
