Program
The TES-VI workshop is part of the Applied
Superconductivity Conference that is taking place from
October 7-12, 2012 in Portland, OR. The TES
sessions are in the ASC Electronics category and
listed below. For the entire ASC program, please go to
their webpage.
In order to maintain the workshop feel of TES-VI, in
addition to the ASC scheduled sessions we will be
having several discussion sessions, just as we did for
TES-V. These discussion sessions will follow
immediately after ASC scheduled sessions and are meant
to provide a forum for discussing open issues and
questions, especially those that may come up during
the presentations.
We are also inviting poster presenters to create 1
slide which will be presented during some oral
sessions where the oral presentation has been
withdrawn, or at the end of oral sessions prior to
respective poster sessions. Please send your 1-slide
pdf files to Stephen.J.Smith@nasa.gov.
