Description

Welcome to the Indico page for the 2024 annual collaboration meeting of the Chicagoland Computational Traineeship for High Energy Particle Physics (C2-THE-P2).

We have several goals for the meeting:

  • Planning courses and semianrs for the upcoming year
  • Discussing potential future projects
  • Hearing research status reports for all cohorts
  • Getting to see each other in person

IMPORTANT UPDATES: ย 

  • Due to the current covid spike in the Chicago area and Fermilab, our meeting will be conducted inย Hybrid Mode. ย  Please feel free to attend in person at Fermilab!ย  ย However, if you feel sick, or if you are uncomfortable being in public spaces during this covid spike, please consider staying at home and attending remotely via Zoom. ย If you do decide to attend in person at Fermilab, please consider masking. ย 

  • As a result of the current covid conditions, we are postponing our Collaboration Dinner, which was originally scheduled for Thursday evening at Two Brothers Tap House in Warrenville. ย  We will decide later if we will hold it (and if so when and where). ย 


For those of you planning to attend in person: ย All meetings will take place in the Sunrise Conference Room, located in the northeast corner of the 11th Floor of Wilson Hall.ย 

If you are participating as a Business Visitor, then you will need to pick up your Business Visitor badge and be escorted to the 11th Floor. ย 

  1. You may use either the Pine St. Entrance or the Batavia Rd. Entrance to Fermilab. ย 
  2. Please proceed to theย Fermilab Welcome and Access Center (FWAC, a.k.a. the Housing Office), located at Aspen East (an historic, white, victorian, farm house). ย The FWAC opens at 8:00 a.m.
  3. Once you have received your Business Visitor Badge from FWAC, please proceed to Wilson Hall and park in any of the adjacent parking lots (all parking lots are OK to use).
  4. Enter Wilson Hall though either the Main Entrance or the (side) Badged Entrance and proceed to the Main Atrium. ย The Main Atrium is quite an architectural marvel.
  5. While gazing within this grand space, please congregate near the elevators at the northeast corner of the building. ย Note that there are two sets of elevators on opposite sides of the building: ย choose the elevators on the right side of the building, when facing north, towards the main entrance and the reflection pool outside. ย 
  6. Please contact us to let us know that you are downstairs via either
    • a phone call or txt message (+1-352-871-4578)
    • an email to Richard.J.Cavanaugh@gmail.com
    • or theย C2-THE-P2 Slack Channel,
  7. Patiently wait for Rick, who will apologetically to bring you to the 11th floor
  8. Enjoy the view, which is actually quite nice and worth the hassle, and a cup of coffee :-)

For those of you planning to attend remotely: ย please use the following ZOOM connection . ย If you plan to attend by Zoom, please let us know.
