  1. XXVII International Symposium on Lepton Photon Interactions at High Energies 17-22 August 2015, Ljubljana Exhibition and Convention Centre Lepton Photon 2015Introduction to the venue Peter Križan University of Ljubljana and Jožef Stefan Institute Opening session, August 17, 2015

  2. Contents • University of Ljubljana and Jožef Stefan Institute • Particle physics in Slovenia • Practical details

  3. University of Ljubljana The first and the largest Slovenian university • Established in 1919 • In numbers: 48k students, 6k staff, 300 MEUR annual budget Faculty of Mathematics and Physics: about 1300 students, Physics: about 500 Study programs: Physics, Physics education, Medical physics, Nuclear Engineering, Geophysics Research in many areas in addition to experimental and theoretical particle physics, from astrophysics to experimental and theoretical condensed matter physics, soft matter, non-equilibrium quantum and statistical physics, medical physics and more.

  4. Jožef Stefan Institute Largest and by far the most renowned Slovenian research institute Established in 1949 In numbers: about 900 researchers, including 400 PhD students. Research in physics, chemistry, material science, biochemistry, biotechnology, reactor physics and engineering (including a small reactor), robotics, information technologies, and environmental sciences. Physics: excellent collaboration with Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of UL, with a sizable staff overlap, where most of the experimental equipment and infrastructure is at the Institute.

  5. Particle and astroparticle physics in Slovenia • The Slovenian HEP community is composed of researchers from Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI) and three Slovenian Universities (Ljubljana, Maribor, Nova Gorica) • Experimental and theoreticalparticle physics effortsare led by JSI, astroparticle physicsby University of Nova Gorica • Experiment: ~40 researchers, including 10 faculty and ~10 PhD students (faculty staff holds part-time positions at JSI) • Theory: ~10 researchers, 4 faculty, 2 students (faculty staff holds part-time positions at JSI)

  6. Particle and astroparticle physics in Slovenia History: • First experiment at CERN: Omicron - from mid seventies • Involved in ARGUS, CPLEAR, DELPHI, HERA-B • Detector experience: Cherenkov detectors, silicon strip and pixel detectors, photo-sensors, diamond detectors + applications in medical imaging and environmental physics Present • ATLAS: SemiConductor Tracker (SCT), beam monitoring (diamond sensors), software and computing (generators, GRID), exotics • Belle: silicon vertex detector, charm and B physics • Belle II: Cherenkov based PID devices, calorimeter, software and GRID computing • Pierre Auger Observatory and CTA: LIDAR systems, shower modeling • Theory: flavour physics, lattice QCD, GUT and supersymmetry
