Second International Workshop for Future Challenges in Tracking and Trigger Concepts

7 Jul 2011, 09:00 → 8 Jul 2011, 16:00 Europe/Zurich

IT Auditorium (CERN)

This is the follow-on workshop after the successful event at GSI last June (2010). These workshops investigate how we can improve the High Level Trigger of modern detectors, especially those built for heavy-ion interactions by adapting the software to modern CPUs/GPUs. The draft agenda is now available in the timetable section!

Free registration is open. If you need an invitation letter please contact Sverre.Jarp@cern.ch.
