Program

MARVEL PP7 Day
Thursday, 3. March 2016 at PSI
 
Participants: PIs, Postdocs and PhDs of the PP7 projects (Experiment and theory partners). PIs of other Marvel projects (VP1, VP2, HP3, HP4, HP5, and PP6).
 
Presentations: Each project should present status, results and future plans. I suggest using the outline of the yearly report (see below) as an orientation for the content, try to define an objective for the next year (one for the theory part, one for the experiment part). Projects which have not yet started should present the idea and future plans. An important point is that we show the synergies and feedback loops between theory and experiment. Therefore it is expected that the contributions of the theory part and of the experiment are clearly presented.

There should be one presentation (or poster) for the experimental part and one for the theory part. Please coordinate yourself between the theory and the experimental partner for each subproject whether you prefer a poster or an oral presentation. For the presentation I suggest that there are two talks for the project, e.g. one 15 min Experiment and one 15 min Theory, but it is up to the projects to decide how to present in a best way the project and the feedback loop.

talks: for each projects: total 30 min + 10 min discussion
