This page is a repository of information for planning the 3rd AMS Data Analysis Clinic Meeting, which will take place in Boulder in early 2011. A shorcut to this page is http://tinyurl.com/AMSClinic3

Dates and Location

The 3rd AMS Data Analysis Clinic Meeting will take place from Sun March 20 to Fri March 25 at the University of Colorado-Boulder. We'll start Sun @ 1 pm (after lunch). It will be organized by the Jimenez Group. We will post information here as it becomes available.

The people who should attend this clinic are those who are directly doing (or are VERY involved in directly supervising) AMS data analysis of field or lab data. The clinic will be much less useful for PIs who are not directly involved in data analysis, or for people who are just starting to learn about the AMS but haven't done serious data analysis yet.

The presentations and discussions will end on Thu @ 1 pm, and we will organize informal activities for Thu afternoon, and skiing, snowshoeing and other activities on Friday for people who can stay an extra day, so please plan your flights accordingly. As planned, this is "out of phase" with the AMS Users Meeting and the heavy Fall meeting season (AAAR, EAC, AMS Users Meeting, AGU...).

There is no registration fee, but please let us know if you are coming to plan food, coffee, tables, power, internet, name tags, hotel room block, etc.

Feedback from the past two Clinics is here and here.

Attendees

The list of attendees is kept on this Google Spreadsheet. Click the Edit link at the bottom if you want to make changes. (Pls make changes only on the sheet named "2011", the one from 2010 is there only as a reference).

Schedule & 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:

  • (Pre-clinic) If there is interest, Jose can lead a subset of users on going through AMS connections diagram while looking at the actual parts in the lab in gory detail on Sat afternoon & Sun morning, including typical failures, diagnostic strategies, and repairs (See http://tinyurl.com/AMS-diagram). Pls email Jose if interested.
  • The rooms will be 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)
    • Aerodyne-sponsored dinner
  • 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 ;-)
  • Daily schedule: Breakfast set up @ 8:30. Meeting starts @ 9am. Break 10:45-11:00. Lunch @ 12:30-1:30. Break 3:00-3:30. End at 5 pm.
