Liquid Argon TPC R&D Workshop (LArTPC14)

8 Jul 2014, 08:00 → 9 Jul 2014, 20:20 US/Central

CDF - Big Room (Building 327) (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory)

Brian Rebel (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory), Craig Thorn (BNL), Jon Urheim (Indiana University)

This workshop is the second in a series started in 2013.  It will provide a forum to discuss current activities in the US that are aimed at the construction of a large liquid argon time projection chamber detector.  The workshop will also feature talks from efforts outside of the US to provide a global context to LArTPC R&D. This workshop will produce a summary of the current R&D efforts and lessoned learned in the community over the past year as well as develop a list of challenges that need to be addressed by future efforts. The workshop is under the aegis of the DPF sponsored Coordinating Panel for Advanced Detectors (CPAD).
