Below is the suggested schedule of talks for the first meeting of the new team. The basic format I propose is to have talks in the morning and then discussions (in smaller groups if required) in the afternoons. This is not meant to be overly prescriptive, and the schedule can be varied as required by the group.
Talk titles link to the abstracts page (where available).
On Monday I would like to request summary talks to set the stage and context, presenting the state of knowledge in different aspects (simulations, observations, nuclear experiment etc.). Each day Tuesday–Thursday will then be devoted to one of these areas.
For those who are not yet represented in the schedule, please feel free to add your own talk topics to the section of choice
