  1. 3. Tutorial Course

In the tutorial course, we will use the CKMlive (http://ckmlive.in2p3.fr), which is a web interface designed to run the CKMfitter software online. The CKMfitter software is a set of packages developed to fit large set of observables in flavour physics and to extract the related theoretical parameters, in particular the elements of the CKM parameters.

 

The students are invited to register as soon as possible using the webpage of the CKMlive interface: http://ckmlive.in2p3.fr/register/

 

Registration must be performed before the start of the school, since it must be validated manually before the student can use CKMlive.

 

The students are expected to bring a laptop with the Firefox browser, on which they will be able to run requests. For participants from abroad, please notice the electricity requirements in Japan. In Japan the power sockets are of type A. The standard voltage is 100 V and the standard frequency is 50 / 60 Hz. Don’t forget to bring a plug for type A.
