PRELIMINARY WORKSHOP AGENDA
The Workshop on Precision Astronomy with Fully Depleted CCDs will focus on topics of making precision astronomical measurements of flux (photometry), position (astrometry) and shapes (weak lensing) with thick, deep-depleted CCD detectors. Impact of sensor related effects on the Dark Energy science will be addressed through presentations and discussions.
