IAC: Kaons and beyond

Europe/Zurich

Dear All,

 

We just (June 16 at 18:00 Geneva time) finished the first IAC+LOC meeting of the ISO-BREAK 25 workshop. I've included a very brief summary below for you to look over.  Your comments/corrections to it are very welcome.

 

---

Participants: Hania, Francesco, Kasia, Marcus, Marek, Mark, Tanja, Tobiasz and Rob.

 

We decided on the workshop’s dates: October 23 (Thursday) – 25 (Saturday). The first session will start at 10:00 and the last one will end at 16:00. A dedicated Zoom session is scheduled for Friday, October 24, at 15:00 Geneva time. It will host selected talks by external participants.

Tobiasz will modify the website accordingly and add a possibility to indicate whether participation will be in person or only remotely at the Zoom session.

 

The list of proposed subjects and possible contributors was compiled with the help of the meeting’s participants. We are all requested to extend and update the list. This, in particular, concerns colleagues who could not join today’s meeting.

 

Starting from next week, we will begin inviting colleagues from the list, which will remain open until the next IAC meeting in September 2025.

 

Thanks for your help

Cheers

Marek for Francesco, Kasia and Tobiasz (LoC)
