First Open Collaboration Meeting on Superconducting Linacs for High Power Proton Beams (SLHiPP-1)

8 Dec 2011, 08:30 → 9 Dec 2011, 17:55 Europe/Zurich

CERN

Welcome to the first Open Collaboration Meeting on Superconducting Linacs for High Power Proton Beams (SLHiPP-1). This meeting is a more general successor of the SPL collaboration meetings, which started in December 2008: https://indico.cern.ch/categoryDisplay.py?categId=2390
The SLHiPP-1 meeting is focused on technical aspects, which means that there will be very few general project overviews or status reports. Instead we will focus on technical progress of various hardware components.
External participants are encouraged to propose talks on their developments to Frank Gerigk.
For all practical arrangements, please refer to "Additional information" on the left.
