ENHEP Aims

ENHEP had been established since 2008 to:

Promote scientific collaboration between researchers and Egyptian academic institutions

Train young scientists on theoretical assumptions, experimental particle physics, data analysis, etc…

Engage with CERN as one of the most challenging international collaborations

Prof. Amr Radi 26/9/2013 CMS Management Meeting 2

ENHEP Goals

Establish experimental expertise for LHC accelerator/detector parts and high standard electronic equipment.

Develop simulation techniques of environmental and industrial impact.

Take a leading part in the expected revolution in particle physics.
