MICE CM40

26 Oct 2014, 09:00 → 29 Oct 2014, 17:00 Europe/Rome

University Roma Tre (Rome)

The 40th Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) Collaboration Meeting is organised by the Mathematics and Physics Department and INFN at Roma Tre University, with the support of ARAP (Associazione Romana per le Astro-particelle).

The main location of the meeting is the Aula Magna, in via Ostiense 159, close to San Paolo Metro B stop. Parallel sessions are hosted in H10 hotel in via Blaserna on Sunday 26th and in other buildings of the University in the morning of Monday 27th (more info). A tentative block diagram can be found here. A software workshop is organised on the 24th and 25th at the Department of Mathematics and Physics.
