ATLAS Workshop on Refinement of Local Hadronic Calibration and its Application ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ to Top Physics ------------- 11-14 June at Ringberg Castle Bulletin 1 ---------- 1.Aim of the Workshop --------------------- The ATLAS Hadronic Calibration group plans a three-day meeting to discuss in detail strategies to test, refine and iterate the local hadronic calibration method with the first ATLAS data. Here the focus is on tt(bar) events, top mass and W-mass reconstruction. The structure of the workshop should allow for extensive discussions rather than lengthy presentations. 2. Scientific Program --------------------- 1. Status of the Hadronic Calibration (pions/jets), present activities, open issues and next steps 2. Validation of the Hadronic Calibration in beam tests, comparison of data with MC simulation 3. Plans for the validation of the local hadronic calibration in situ using first ATLAS data: jet scale, W-mass, Et-mis 4. tt(bar) selection, top mass reconstruction, QCD background, analysis tools The ATLAS calorimeter group at MPI/Munich welcomes to host the workshop at the Ringberg castle close to Munich. The final agenda will be available from the home page of the workshop http://wwwatlas.mppmu.mpg.de/ringberg2008 3. Organization --------------- The local Organization committee: A. Kiryunin, S. Menke, H. Oberlack, M. Schaber, P. Schacht WEB Page The homepage for the workshop is: http://wwwatlas.mppmu.mpg.de/ringberg2008 4. Place -------- The workshop will be held at the Ringberg castle of the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft. The castle is situated about 50 km south of Munich in the resort area of Lake Tegernsee. It is ideal for small workshops with intense working and discussion atmosphere. The web page for the Ringberg castle is: http://www.schloss-ringberg.de conference center: +49 08022 279 218 reception: +49 08022 279 0 5. Programme ------------ The programme will be organized in 5 half day meetings starting Wednesday afternoon at 16:00 and ending Saturday morning. 6.Participation and Accomodation ------------------------------ Accomodation at Ringberg castle is limited to about 40 participants. Accomodation of the participants will be mostly in single rooms, 7 double rooms are available as well. The price for full lodging (breakfast, lunch dinner) is 100.- Euro per day, i.e. 300.- Euro for the workshop (reservations are accepted only for the full workshop). If the number of participants exceeds 40, hotel accomodation will be organized in the vicinity: Hotel zur Post: bed and breakfast: about 45-60 Euro Gaestehaus Leykauf: bed and breakfast: about 38-42 Euro The conference fee will be 30.- Euro for participants staying at the castle, for those staying at the hotel it will be 130.- Euro (lunch, dinner included). 7. Transportation ----------------- A local train (BOB) connects Tegernsee, the town near Ringberg Castle, with the Munich main station in about 1 hour. You reach the main railway station from the Munich airport via local train (S-Bahn) within 40 minutes. For details see the workshop home page http://wwwatlas.mppmu.mpg.de/ringberg2008 or directly the WEB page of the Ringberg castle http://www.schloss-ringberg.de. We will provide a shuttle service from the Tegernsee railway station to the castle on Wednesday afternoon (14-15) and Saturday morning (9-10). If you need a hotel reservation in Munich, see http://www.munich-info.de/hotels/welcome_de.html 8. Registration --------------- The registration will be open from 25th March 2008, the deadline is 23rd May 2008.
