Program

The TES V workshop is part of the Applied Superconductivity Conference that is taking place from August 1-6, 2010 in Washington, DC.  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 V, in addition to the ASC scheduled sessions we will be having several discussion sessions.  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 1-2 slides which will be presented either on:
    - Monday August 2 after the 'TES Calorimeters' session 
    - Tuesday August 3 after the 'TES Instrumentation and Low Energy Calorimeters' session
    - Tuesday August 3 after the 'TES Signals and Readout I' session 
    - Thursday August 5 after the 'TES Noise' session. 
Poster presenters interested in showing 1-2 slides should have their slides prepared and the pdf emailed either to:
    - Randy Doriese at doriese@boulder.nist.gov (if you are presenting in the 'TES Bolometers II' session) by Friday July 30 (5PM EST)
    - Galen O'Neil at galen.oneil@nist.gov (if you are presenting in the 'TES Calorimeters and TES Instrumeters' session) by Saturday July 31
    - Jan van der Kuur at J.van.der.Kuur@sron.nl (if you are presenting in the 'TES Signals and Readout II' session) by Saturday July 31
    - Daniela Bagliani at Daniela.Bagliani@ge.infn.it (if you are presenting in the 'TES Multiple Topics') by Saturday July 31
