The n_TOF Collaboration General Meeting 2024
The n_TOF Collaboration has been established in the year 2000 at CERN. It presently consists of 140 researchers from 40 research institutes across Europe, Japan and the United States.
The Collaboration gathers every year for a General Meeting and for a meeting of the Collaboration Board. The meeting last for three days and includes a program with presentations on the main results of the experiments performed at CERN and organizational matters.
Recent previous meetings have been held on 13-14 December 2022 in Edinburgh, UK and in Valencia, Spain on 22-24 November 2023.
The 2024 meetings will be held in Padova ("Padua" when englishized), Italy, on 27-28-29 November 2024.
On 27 November (WED), we will convene at the INFN-Legnaro National Laboratory in Legnaro, near Padova. On 28 and 29 November (THU and FRI), we will be in downtown Padova, at the Scuola della Carità.
