This will be the inaugural collaboration meeting for the Radar Echo Telescope collaboration. This in-person meeting will be the first time that our international cohort will be together discussing the experiment, presenting works in progress, working on simulations, and testing hardware. Two days will be science days, where will have presentations by collaboration members on the work they are doing, as well as plans for future work. The other two days will be parallel tracked, where some folks will workshop software/firmware and others will workshop hardware and testing.
Participant Information
We will have approximately 15 attendees, many of whom are international. KrijndeVries of Vrije Universitet Brussel will join along with several of his group. KatieMulrey of Radboud University in the Netherlands will also join. Dave Besson of KU and Steph Wissel of Penn St. will join (either in person or remotely) and send students.
Interaction Plan
The workshop will be in-person with a hybrid component, so we will need to use technology for that in room 4138. The in-person component will follow all university covid requirements. The software session will use room 4138, and the hardware sessions will take place in Beatty and Connolly's labs, 3109, PRB. For the hardware sessions, we will make use of the CCAPP Antarctic Rf Test (CART) facility, including a cold chamber and anechoic chamber. Trained personnel will at all times accompany visitors while in the laboratory spaces, and visitors will be made aware of safety practices.
We plan to invite one of the guests to provide a CCAPP seminar on the 5th, after the close of the workshop, or perhaps a special CCAPP seminar on the 4th if this cannot be arranged. I have already discussed with the seminar organizers, and the 5th is available if one of our visitors can give a seminar.
