Travel information
There is a bus connection in between University Ka and Forschungszentrum Ka; please follow the link for the timetable information (on the right part of the page):
http://www.uni-karlsruhe.de/employees/intrakath/8218.php
All students/workers can drive with this bus; one needs just an ID card, either from UNI – campus south or FZK – campus north. No extra ticket is needed! If you don't have any ID card for the 1st day, that's not a problem I guess – so you can still take it, but than you have to get out at the 1st stop – main eintrance at FZK – to get one, because the bus goes inside FZK for two more stops.
The program of the bus is the following:
| from university to FZK: | 7:30, 8:30 up to 17:30 |
| from FZK to university: | 8:00, 9:00 up to 18:00 |
Notes from the meeting
- Do events, which are expected to produce radio showers indeed produce a radio signal?
- What exactly is happening to the old LOPES-Tools? Is there still some functionality in there which needs to be made available to the CR-Tools?
- Where is the upsampling done? → Frequency domain
Things to do:
- Follow-up on the work done by Steffen on the lateral distributions
- Continue working on the error budgets (continuation of the works presented by Frank)
- pick up work to import REAS simulations into CR-Tools (
reas2event) - pick up work started by Sven: arrival times of pulses at different positions on the ground → reconstruction of shower parameters
- multidimensional fit for optimization: simplex-fit for optimizing radius of curvature and shower core position
- roll-out and debugging of the new CR-Tools imager
