YETI'06-SM

26 Mar 2006, 18:00 → 29 Mar 2006, 13:50 Europe/London

Seminar Room (IPPP)

The YETI'06-SM meeting will focus on Monte Carlo event generators. Half of the meeting is devoted to a set of five lectures which step through the event generation process. The lectures are supplemented by other, more specialized talks, relating to the features in the lectures, as well as computing classes.
