UA9 Crystal Collimation Workshop

23 Feb 2011, 09:00 → 25 Feb 2011, 18:00 Europe/Zurich

Sala Direzione INFN (Roma La Sapienza)

Walter Scandale (INFN)

A UA9 meeting in Roma at Dipartimento di Fisica – Univ. Sapienza will be held on Feb 23, 24 and 25th 2011.

The workshop is organized in several sessions with three main subjects:
2010 data analysis [H8 and SPS], future activity on H8 and SPS and extension to LHC and discussion of a possible extension of UA9 to experiments of crystal lepton interaction at CERN and SLAC.

Theorists and experts from FACET (SLAC), CLIC (Orsay) and BTF (LNF) will be invited to join the discussion.

The organizing committee
G.Cavoto, F.Murtas, W.Scandale, P.Valente, A.Variola
