Dear Collaborators,

 

We are writing to invite you to join the join Workfest of MAPS detector group and HF-jet Topical Group, Jan 5-7 2017 at Santa Fe, NM. Registration is now open: https://indico.bnl.gov/confRegistrationFormDisplay.py/display?confId=2641  (please submit and modify later). Local organizer at LANL is working on hotel and conference room arrangements, detail of which will be announced to the list soon.

 

The goals of this workfest are:

• MAPS detector group
  • Make significant progress on MAPS MIE proposal
  • Update the cost and schedule to be ready for discussion with DOE in Feb budget meeting
  • Develop additional physics cases for MAPS detector beyond sPHENIX scientific proposal
• HF-jet topical group
  • Produce near final b-­jet tagging performance plots for MAPS proposal and QM2017 conference
  • Advance the tracking detector simulation towards new baseline simulation configuration
  • Develop B-meson simulations

The workfest is organized as:

• Thu Jan 5: workshop style talks summarize current considerations on MAPS detector, HF-jet simulations and new ideas. Bluejean broadcast will available for remote participations.
• Fri Jan 6: parallel work sessions on MAPS proposal and on simulations, with brief summary session at the end of the day.
• Sat Jan 7: parallel work sessions in the morning. Summary session in noon and work sessions in the afternoon. 

Full agenda page is presented here: https://indico.bnl.gov/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=2641  . Please let us know if there is any question or suggestion. Looking forward to seeing you at Santa Fe.

 

Best regards
