PROGRAM STRUCTURE

A number of program blocks with one (minimum) to three (maximum) review speakers (30min each) plus about one hour of joint discussions, involving everybody and his/her expertise. The review speakers should lay out in detail:

  • 1. the basic physical/astronomical question
  • 2. the available experimental/observational/theoretical data sets
  • 3. give an educated comparison and outline uncertainties
  • 4. provide strategies for improvements and name existing efforts
  • 5. discuss userfriendlyness of provided data/compilations
