ANL-UChicago-FNAL Collaboration on Detector R&D

3:00 - 6:00 pm Tuesday, May 15, 2007 followed by Dinner at 6:30 pm
5640 S. Ellis Ave. Univ. of Chicago, HEP Building 3rd Floor Conference Room - Directions

e-mail list

Special Topic: Cosmological Computing (3:00 - 3:30 pm) - Presentation (15') and Discussion (15')
The cosmological computing group at FNAL/UChicago will present their work.
This will help understand possible collaboration opportunities with ANL.
