*****************************************************
To be continued on 14 January afternoon in Ecole Polytechnique Paliseau.
The order in the agenda is provisional. First the groups which have signed up and then those that haven't. NB! The times below are rough estimates for the talk only. Since this is a workshop, we want to allow plenty of time for discussion, say aroung 10' per talk in addition...- 13:00 Desy/HH/Rostock: Recent Results from the TPC Activities at DESY 15'....Peter Wienemann

Some questions to be discussed (more suggestions welcome).
GENERAL DISCUSSION
- 17:10 Introductory Remarks on LC TPC Resolution Studies - Request for Comments - ....Peter Wienemann Original suggestions by Peter Wienemann towards achieving more harmony in our many analyses, to be updated by his transparencies above...
- What is the optimum pad size/pad geometry? This could serve as a reference for the small-prototype measurements (and should be used for the large prototypes to be built--RS).
- For the analysis of the small-prototype data, can we define a set of reference cuts to facilitate comparison of results? The cuts should be universally applicable for different analyses.
- Can/should we utilize a common reconstructions software? This should be based on LCIO, which most groups are now employing, and on a common data format.
- Would it be sensible for some groups to exchange data sets for
purposes of cross-checks? Peter suggests that maybe Grid infrastructure
could be useful here.
Other points (by RS) which should be understood for the LC TPC and the large prototypes to be designed (more suggestions welcome):
- How realistic is it to attain "diffusion-limited" point resolution?
- What are the best candidates for the LC TPC gas?
- What is the limit for space charge?
- What are the arguments w.r.t. gating?
- ...
