DESCRIPTION:This Physics Without Frontiers Online Workshop: Reading and Ma
 nipulating the LHCb Open Data invites undergraduate students and master's 
 students in the areas of physics\, mathematics\, and computer science\, el
 ectronic and software engineering to participate and get the opportunity t
 o be fascinated by the experimental high energy physics of the LHCb detect
 or. Organized in teams\, students will get open data files from the LHCb e
 xperiment to study the matter antimatter asymmetry of the universe. After 
 receiving lectures about concepts of particle accelerators\, detectors and
  data analysis\, and with the support of CERN’s scientists working on th
 e LHCb experiment\, the participants will face a Hackathon challenge where
  they will develop knowhow and expertise in physics but also in data scien
 ce\, big data\, computing\, detectors\, among others to find the best way 
 to optimize cuts and to achieve best efficiency.\nThe Winner team will get
  support to apply to the 2025 CERN Latin-American School of High-Energy Ph
 ysics (https://indico.cern.ch/event/1467690/)\, to be held in Costa Rica. 
 The organizing committee of the CERN Latin-American School will select one
  of the members of the Winner team to participate as official or listener 
 participant. The travel expenses should be covered by the home country.\nD
 ates: 9-18 December 2024\nWe are looking for students who fulfill the foll
 owing criteria:\n		Enrolled in a Central American University in one of the
  following: Physics\, Mathematics\, Computer Science or Data Science\n	\n	
 	Completed at least 3 years of full-time studies in the field\, at univers
 ity level\n	\n		Some knowledge in Python programming.\n\n​Apply here by
