BUSSTEPP (British Universities Summer School in Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics)  is a long-established summer school aimed at PhD students in theoretical particle physics who have completed a year of graduate studies. Having built a very strong international reputation over 40 years, it has been supported by STFC or its predecessor in order to provide a comprehensive and in-depth overview of research in elementary particle physics.

Program  includes

• Quantum Field Theory (6 lectures): Gero von Gersdorff, ICTP-SAIFR 

• Phenomenology (5 lectures): Sven Heinemeyer, IFCA, Cantabria

• Beyond The Standard Model [non SUSY] (4 hours): Ben Gripaios, Cavendish Lab, Cambridge

• Supersymmetry (4 hours): Steve West, Royal Holloway, Univ. of London

• AdS/CFT (4 hours): Carlos Nunez, Swansea Univ.

• Neutrino and Astroparticle Physics (4 hours): Silvia Pascoli, IPPP, Durham

• Cosmology (4 hours): David Seery, Univ. of Sussex

• Experimental Particle Physics (3 hours): Albert De Roeck, CERN & Univ. of Antwerp

• Lattice Field Theory (4 lectures): Andreas Juettner, Univ. of Southampton

• Student Presentation Sessions (6 hours)

All the training activities, including lectures, individual study, tutorials and student talks will take place in the Building 58 (Murray Building) at Southampton University.

The registration deadline is the 1st of  August, 2014. 

There is a maximum allocation for the number of fully supported PhD students. Therefore, we strongly encourage early registration.
