Review of NA61 Software Upgrade Proposal

Thursday 10 Feb 2011, 14:00 → 19:00 Europe/Zurich

32/1-a24 (CERN)

The NA61 experiment is proposing to rewrite its fortran software in modern technology and are requesting resources from CERN to achieve this. SFT is asked to conduct a short review of the project and advise CERN management on its soundness. More specifically, the review panel is asked to consider whether sufficient time and resources are available to complete the migration of the software given the current plans for operating the experiment in the future (2014/2015).
