Topics

Tentatively the structure of the Clinic will be a hybrid of the 2009 and 2010 clinics, with some presentations but LESS than in 2010, and substantial time for people to work on their data and bring up issues to the group. A preliminary schedule is:

• room available in Sun morning (in case people want to meet before start of clinic)
• Sun March 20, Sun 1 - 6 pm.: quantification, CE, instrument issues, RIE, semi-refractory...
• Mon March 21, Mon 9am - 5pm: HR and PIKA
• Tue March 22, Tue 9am - 5pm: HR and PIKA, APES (elemental analysis)
• Wed March 23, Wed 9am - 5pm: buffer time (morning) + PMF afternoon
• Thu March 24, Thu 9am - 1 pm: PMF (including errors)
• Fri March 25, Fri: (Optional): Downhill skiing or cross-country skiing or snowshoeing or hiking
  • (If you advisor hesitates about letting you stay on Friday, tell him / her that it is important for your research to bond with other AMS Users who may be able to help you at a critical juncture later ;-)
