Description
The meeting will be held at the Mottorola Building room 203A in the research park (also labeled UCSB building). This building is on the right hand side on the road as you come through the guard gates (opposite the main lab area on the left). Typically you just need a US driver license or DOE badge to get through the guard gates. Goal of the Mini-CSEWG-2016 meeting is to review progress towards the next version of the ENDF/B library since the last CSEWG meeting in November 2015. Dicsussed will be progress on CIELO and non-CIELO evaluations, related validation, and possibly format changes, experimental activities and advancements in the covariance methodology.
Submitting contributions: Participants shall upload their contributions to the Indico system before their presentation. The preferred format is pdf. Use of the Keynote or PowerPoint formats should be limited only to the contributions containing animations that are critical for understanding the presentation. Please consult instructions for uploading the material (note that you may upload additional files, e.g., data, documents, plots, etc. in support of the actual presentation and you can replace any of them at any time before your presentation).
To make full use of the Indico system, each participant must register as an Indico user. So, unless you have done it already, please register below. If you already are the Indico user (e.g., attended ND Week a year ago) you can login with your username and simply register to the current event.
