Description: High energy physics (HEP) is an area in which all experiments in operation or planning are built through an international effort of dozens of countries. Given the complexity of the experiments and the spectrum of topics available for study, it also involves several areas of science: in planning, construction and operation of the experiments (physics, engineering, computing, etc.); in spinoff of the technologies developed in the experiments (medicine, etc). It is a known fact that Large Hadron Collider (lhc) of cern is the largest and most complex scientific instrument ever constructed. The UERJ HEP group has several decades of experience in international collaborations and has been involved with the cerncms experiment for more than 10 years. The partnership established here aims to intensify the participation of the HEP group in the experiments, but also to seek training and human of resources formation at graduation level in new technologies often nonexistent in the market, in the field of electronics, nanotechnology (detectors) and computer science. The volume of data produced (at the exabyte scale) needs to be processed using the most up to date technology in high performance, parallel computing, computational intelligence and machine learning. This project looks to support the activities of the HEP group of the UERJ in cms / cern and increases the activities of the partners GPs, contributing to the intensification of the internationalization actions of them. The collaboration between the GPs mentioned here will allow to deepen the participation of the UERJ in the cms, creating conditions for the engagement in research projects and development in the areas of electronics, detectors, computing and research in physics, exploring the existing synergies between these areas with regard to respect to the HEP area. The development of ultrafast detectors is planned using nanofabrication techniques and associated electronics, innovative methods in machine learning and high-performance computing (through GP-CComp) aiming at more active participation of the group in sub detectors of cms associated to the topics of physics of interest of the group (frontal physics, physics of heavy flavors, supersymmetry and Higgs boson). Such activities will be carried out with countries such as USA, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Germany, through the following institutions: LIP, CIEMAT, Univ de Aachen DESY, Univ Milano - Bicoca, and Polytechnic of Bari.
