MicroBooNE Pandora Workshop and Working Meeting

11 Jul 2016, 09:00 → 14 Jul 2016, 18:00 Europe/London

Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge

Mark Thomson (University of Cambridge)

The MicroBooNE Pandora meeting is targeted at people interested in learning more about the Pandora reconstruction for MicroBooNE and, in particular, those wishing to contribute to algorithm development. The first two days of the meeting will consist of talks and short exercises. The second two days will provide a hands-on opportunity to learn how to write algorithms in Pandora. It is possible to attend all four days, or just the first two days of the meeting.
