3. Micromegas modules3 Next beam tests & TPC Analysis Jamboree ‘09 LCTPC WP Meeting #79 – 25.03.2009 Module installation and data taking: May 4 th -7 th (week 19) TPC Analysis Jamboree 2009: May 11 th -14 th Data taking: May 15 th to June 3 rd The TPC Analysis Jamboree will take place at the Orsay Franciscan monastery  Objects: resolution, algorithms for track reconstruction, 2-track separation, track distortions, gain fluctuations, MC simulation, anti-spark protection, gating, primary ionization, resistive anodes  Prices: - full accomodation: 126 € - the 3 lunches only: 33 € A web site will be available soon for registration… See the announcement in the new two slides

4. TPC ANALYSIS JAMBOREE – May 11-14, 2009 – Orsay Franciscan monastery After DESY (March 2006) and Aachen (April 2008), let us have 3 and a half days of discussion and exchanges on all the physics and mathe- matical issues that affect TPC operation and performances. Students and young physicists will take time to discuss in depth the question arising when analysing beam and cosmic test data in TPCs (Alice, ILC, PANDA, T2K…) with specialists of various related fields. Resolution, algorithms for track reconstruction, 2-track separation, track distortions, gain fluctuations, MC simulation, anti-spark protection, gating, primary ionization, resistive anodes

5. We will have a room for 40 persons, small rooms for discussions in small groups, about 20 simple rooms and on-site meals, in the middle of a 5 hectare park with a pond. Price for the full accomodation: 126 euro Price for the 3 lunches only: 33 euro There are low-cost airplane tickets from main cities in Europe.
