EuCARD 1st ANNUAL MEETING

13 Apr 2010, 07:00 → 16 Apr 2010, 16:35 Europe/Zurich

Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), Oxfordshire-UK

Welcome to the first annual meeting of EuCARD, the European Coordination for Accelerator Research and Development taking place from (13) 14-16th April 2010 at RAL.

 

After one day (Tuesday 13th) dedicated to parallel meetings of Work Packages, the plenary meeting will combine summaries and highlight talks on the advancement of the work in fields as varied as high field magnets, collimation, linear collider technologies, novel accelerator concepts, networking of the community and open facilities. One day (Thursday 15th) will be dedicated to other European projects on accelerators, to discussions on the future organization of EU accelerator R&D and to the RAL facilities. The meeting is open to external and local participants in the limit of the meeting capacity.
