Description
There will be a 1.5 day mountain retreat in Villars-sur-Ollon open to all members of LHCb and potential future collaborators to brainstorm ideas for upgrades of the VELO beyond Run 4. We will discuss ideas for readout, mechanics, cooling, sensors for the upgrade at very high luminosity.
Our time there will be shared between meetings and social activities.
A bus will be at our disposal at no cost to participants:departure at CERN foreseen March 1st, at 11am sharp in front of Building 13. We will stop on the way at the Rolle motorway services for quick lunch, to arrive in Villars at 2:30pm.
Transfers to and from the airport can be arranged.
The bus back to CERN should leave Villars at 3pm, arriving in GVA ~5pm.
Every participant should pay hotel costs at the hotel directly at check-out (240sfr, which includes room, dinner, breakfast, lunch on the 2nd day, welcome drink and coffee breaks. Not included: beverages for lunch and dinner).
For the social activity on Friday morning, the default plan (if weather permits) is to have an excursion with snow shoes or touring skis. We will help with organising the rental of equipment for people who need.
If the weather is bad, we propose some alternative options: Ice skating, Hotel Spa.
Venue: Hotel du Golf & Spa, Villars-sur-Ollon
