CALICE Collaboration Meeting

19 May 2011, 08:30 → 21 May 2011, 17:00 Europe/Zurich

CERN

The meeting will include sessions on the status of the different detector projects as well as analysis, software, electronics, DAQ and mechanics.
We will hear about studies with recent testbeam data and review the preparations for the imminent run periods.
Part of the meeting will be devoted to discuss the status of simulation software validation for the different options, in view of the ILD concept meeting the week after.
