Heavy Flavor/sPHENIX-MVTX Workshop

28 Feb 2019, 08:00 → 2 Mar 2019, 20:30 US/Pacific

Pers. Hall Main Room - LBNL

This is a three-day workshop on heavy flavor physics and sPHENIX-MVTX project.

Day-1 (Feb. 28): Heavy flavor mini-workshop to review recent experimental and theoretical progress in heavy ion collisions

Day-2 (Mar. 1) and Day-3 (Mar. 2) morning:  Two parallel sessions

• HF/sPHENIX-MVTX workfest: focusing on MVTX HF physics and tracking/simulation studies. Would extremely welcome our theory friends to participant and offer your valuable comments.
• MVTX engineering workfest: focusing on MVTX (+INTT) mechanical integration and cost/schedule

Day-3 (Mar. 2) afternoon: MVTX project and HF topical working group joint meeting on physics simulation, project status etc.
