Overview BOOST 2026 is the 18th conference of a series of successful joint theory/experiment workshops that bring together the world's leading experts in theoretical and experimental collider physics to discuss the latest progress and develop new approaches on the reconstruction of and use of jet substructure to study Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and search for physics beyond the Standard Model. Note: BOOST 2026 will be held in the week just after PSR 2026 in Manchester. For attendees of...

The 19th MCnet school will be held CERN. The school provides a five-day course of training in the physics and techniques used in modern Monte Carlo event generators via a series of lectures, practical sessions, and discussions with event-generator authors. The school is aimed at advanced doctoral students and early-career postdocs. Please note that the school will take place in person only; a remote participation option will not be offered. Our core sessions comprise a series of introductory...
The programme includes:
• Introductory & advanced lectures on event-generator physics
• Hands-on tutorials with MCnet generators
• Poster session
• Evening discussions with generator authors
In-person participation only.
