=> MC4BSM Update:
On Thursday May 21st, immediately after MC4BSM, we will hold a data challenge in the morning, and all are welcome to attend. During the MC4BSM afternoon tutorials on Tuesday and Wednesday we will be generating BSM events and simulating them with Delphes. On Thursday morning, we will have a joint MC4BSM and LPC "data challenge" that all are welcome to participate in, and you may find very instructive. Please make your travel plans accordingly, and make a note on the registration page if you plan to participate. If you have already registered, send us a note of your plans to participate.

Note for CMS Experiment participants: The workshop would be followed by a day (21 May, 2015) of "Open tutorials and CMS talks" at the LPC - Click Agenda
