General Information

The proceedings will be published as a special issue of  Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A (NIMA).  The volume will be hard bound and will ship to all participants within 5-6 months of the time we submit the the accepted papers (hopefully this will be shortly after the workshop). Due to the large number of submissions this year we need everyone's cooperation to make this process go smoothly. Please follow the NIMA submissions guidelines given below closely since we do not have the manpower to reprocess anyone's submission.
