2nd Workshop on Neutrino Near Detectors based on gas TPCs

20 Mar 2017, 08:30 → 21 Mar 2017, 17:00 Europe/Zurich

CERN

Alain Blondel (Universite de Geneve (CH)), Marco Zito

After the November Workshop  an EoI have been submitted to the CERN SPSC to build near detector gas TPCs for long baseline neutrino experiments in collaboration with the CERN Neutrino Platform.

The aim of the workshop is :

•  continue towards a precise definition of the T2K upgrade and of the HP-TPC R&D program, as well as of their synergies and complementarity.
•  establish the work packages responsibilities
•  clarify the issues raised by the referees

Organising Committee: 

Alain Blondel (Univ. Geneva)

Stefania Bordoni  (CERN)

Marzio Nessi (CERN)

Marco Zito (CEA/Saclay)
