AIM Community Meeting: FY26 Planning

Wednesday 6 Aug 2025, 09:00 → 10:00 US/Pacific

Zoom: https://cern.zoom.us/j/7249240691?pwd=NzFObGV2Wks1dTczQjk3cEcxUHI2UT09 

1 FCC Hackathon

Speaker: Liza Brost (Brookhaven National Laboratory (US))

First US FCC Hackathon! I pitched this idea as "a work-workshop" at the Fermilab/Argonne meeting in April.

https://indico.cern.ch/e/bnl-fcc-workworkshop

It's a "workshop" in the original sense (not just a series of talks, we will sit together and work on projects). There will be two highlight talks (Charlie Young on "Lessons Learned from Past Detector Design" and Stefan Hoeche on "Monte Carlo challenges in pp vs e+e- collisions") and an opportunity for everyone to present their work at the end of the week

• CalVision DD4HEP
• theory challenges @ e+e- colliders
• calorimeter digitization for ALLEGRO
• HFCC AIM/Integrated Detector Concepts Design Challenge 
• PFlow for ALLEGRO
• tools for drift chamber design

 

~30 people registered (most in person)

~6 "work packages" proposed

I hope this can grow into a semi-regular event :)
