 +===== 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 [[http://usg.lofar.org/wiki/doku.php?id=software:packages:cr-tools|CR-Tools]] imager
