Welcome to the 2014 Neutrino Generator School page.

This is a generator training school, to be held at the University of Liverpool in 14-16 May 2014. To facilitate participation of overseas students, the school is organised as a satellite event of the popular NuINT14 workshop to be held in London in 19-24 May 2014.

The school will provide a series of lectures covering a broad range of neutrino interaction phenomenology topics focussing on the connections between theory, experiment and MC simulations. The school will also offer extensive hands-on tutorials of the GENIE and NuWro MC generators.

Participation is by invitation and, due to the hands-on nature of the school, will be limited to about 30 students. Priority will be given to students and young post-doctoral research associates.

Venue & Location
The school will be held in the Foresight Centre, the award-winning business conference centre of the University of Liverpool in UK. The Foresight Centre is located within the central campus and it is housed within one of the city's most impressive Grade II listed buildings.



Liverpool in a UNESCO World Heritage City and a bustling metropolis with a unique mix of contemporary and classic architecture. With the largest collection of museum and galleries anywhere outside London, and a fantastic selection of performance spaces, it is an ideal culturally-rich setting for a summer school.
More information about visiting Liverpool may be found here.
