Program
The TES-VII workshop is part of the Applied
Superconductivity Conference that is taking place from
August 10-15th, 2014 in Charlotte, NC. The TES
sessions are in the ASC Electronics category and
listed below. For the entire ASC program, please go to
their webpage.
In addition to the ASC scheduled sessions we will have
a discussion session at the end of the workshop.
This is meant to provide a forum for discussing open
issues and questions in the field, especially those
that may come up during the presentations, as well as
the future of this workshop itself.
We are also inviting all poster presenters to create 1
slide which will be presented after the first session
of Monday talks. Please send your 1-slide pdf files to
Simon.R.Bandler@nasa.gov before midnight on Sunday
August 10th.
