11th International Workshop on
Neutrino Factories, Superbeams and Beta Beams

July 20-25, 2009 — Illinois Institute of Technology — Chicago


Program

A block outline is shown below. The first day (Monday, July 20), buses will be available to take people from the hotels to Fermilab. On-site registration and plenary sessions will be followed by tours of neutrino facilities in the afternoon, a reception in the evening and buses back to downtown Chicago. The meeting will move to IIT on Tuesday, July 21. Thursday is a half day with plenary sessions in the morning and the afternoon left free. The workshop will end on Saturday after morning plenaries.
