Description

Contributions to the Yellow Report

The workshop proceedings will be published in the form of a CERN Yellow Report.
Contributions from Plenary talk speakers will have 8 pages for presentations up to 20 minutes and 10 pages for presentations of 25 minutes of more. Three pages are reserved for each poster.

The deadline for written contributions is 15 November 2009.

Please use the links on the left menu to find your slot and upload the corresponding documents. Note that you can either upload a file or just give an url where we can pick it up.

General information on CERN 'Yellow' reports (including author instructions) is available here. You can find style files for LateX and Word. They should not be modified.
