6th ILC Positron Source Collaboration Meeting

28 Oct 2009, 10:00 → 30 Oct 2009, 13:10 Europe/London

PH132 (Department of Physics, Durham University)

Jim Clarke

The meeting will discuss the current status of ongoing R&D, accelerator design and integration studies. A particular aim of the meeting will be to prepare for the re-baselining decisions that will occur in early 2010.
