13th HL-LHC Collaboration Meeting, Vancouver (Canada), 25-28 September 2023
The Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue
Simon Fraser University
Following the success of the 12th HL-LHC Collaboration Meeting in September 2022, held as the first in-person event of the project since the pandemic, the 13th HL-LHC Collaboration Meeting will take place again as an in-person meeting, jointly organized by TRIUMF and CERN in Vancouver, Canada, from 25th to 28th September 2023. Based on the traditional programme with plenary and work package parallel sessions, this meeting will serve as a technical update forum for the 7th Cost and Schedule Review, scheduled for 13th to 17th November 2023, kick-off the Canadian contribution to the Crab Cavity cryomodule production and provide the framework for additional collaborative meetings between the project partners. The main objectives will be to update all HiLumi collaborators on the advancement of the series production of components for the project, to highlight the progress made in the transition from prototype validation to series production, to showcase the status of the IT String test stand installation at CERN and to update all collaborators on the latest schedule changes. As in previous editions, the meeting will include a restricted session for the 13th HL-LHC Collaboration Board in the afternoon of Tuesday, 26th September 2023. This annual meeting foresees a common banquet on Monday 25th September and a visit to the TRIUMF facilities in the morning of Tuesday 26th September. Participation in the meeting is by invitation only, and registration is mandatory and without fee. Data Privacy Protection Policy : OC no.11 - ATS Events Privacy Notice |
