conference Large Area Picosecond Photodetector Development Collaboration Meeting   from Thursday 10 June 2010 (08:30)
to Friday 11 June 2010 (18:10) (US/Central)
at Argonne National Laboratory ( Bldg. 360, Room A224 )
chaired by: Henry Frisch (University of Chicago)
Description: 
The second collaboration meeting will focus on our accomplishments for Year 1 and outlining what goes into the report to DOE due 30 June 2010.  The report will address the Year 1 milestones and whether they have been met.  We will have reports on current status and discuss the plans for Year 2 developments and Year 2 milestones.
