The Kassiopeia particle tracking framework is an object-oriented
software package utilizing modern C++ techniques, written originally to
meet the needs of the Katrin collaboration. Kassiopeia's target physics
problem consists of simulating particle trajectories governed by
arbitrarily complex differential equations of motion, continuous physics
processes that may in part be modeled as...

The tutorial "What is a particle?" gives an introduction to particle physics from an experimentalist point of view. It is targeted at people working outside particle physics. The first part is an overview over the Standard Model of particle physics. The most important particles and interactions are explained. Then the history of the most important discoveries leading to our current knowledge...

Optimization problems are very common in high energy particle (astro-)
physics. In this tutorial we want to BROADen the typical optimization
toolkit known to physicists by introducing so-called genetic
algorithms (GA). These algorithms are very powerful when it comes to
optimizing abstract or high dimensional problems.
In this course we want to discuss the main concepts and give...

The tutorial 'Giving feedback' will focus on an open discussion accompanied by a moderator. Based on the experience of the participants, we want to encourage a discussion about giving feedback after rehearsals of talks. Using methods of adult education, the goal of the tutorial is to deduce a code of conduct for this situation which can be used in our everyday (research) life. After a short...

The KSETA Doctoral Workshop allows interested KSETA fellows to learn more about methods and tools that might support their research. Doctoral students of all KSETA research fields, from theoretical or experimental particle and astroparticle physics to software or cryogenic engineering, are invited to spend three interesting and inspiring days together and to benefit from the other...

During the PhD, not only expertise in the own field of study, but also personal competences should be improved to allow a successful professional development. However, time for personal reflection and help to choose from many qualification possibilities is often not given. Therefore, this tutorial focuses on a self-assessment, where each participant fills in a competence questionnaire provided...

Mathematica is a powerful programming tool with a visually appealing graphical user interface. While possessing many of the capabilities of a more traditional programming language, it features symbolic computing, which renders mathematical expressions in a format that is easier to read and manipulate. Given these ergonomic features, Mathematica is, among other things, useful for quick...

Git is a distributed version control system everybody should know about. It is the way to share code. It is the way to contribute to open source projects. But it is also the way to manage personal projects like the PhD thesis. It makes you capable of tracking changes (including errors), automatic backups, branching and merging, and so on.
The workshop will give an introduction to Git, and...
