Workpackages & Technical Board ·

Workpackages for the Large Prototype / LCTPC

The work of the LCTPC collaboration is divided in different work packages. Each work package is divided in different topics to which conveners are assigned. Together these conveners form the technical board of the collaboration.
Below you find for each work package a table with the different subtopics and their conveners as well as preliminary information which working groups / institutes are involved or interested in the work on the topic.
