Dear Colleagues, In this message, I present a preliminary schedule for the Brookhaven Energy Frontier meeting. Chip and I would very much appreciate it if the working group conveners would respond to this as soon as possible so that Sally Dawson can post a schedule on the meeting web page. I hope that you will see that the plan below has a certain logic. Chip and I have tried to address all of your requests. However, you will see that we overestimated the time available and that the program is very heavily scheduled. If you would like more time open, you can recommend eliminating some of the sessions you asked for. The Higgs and New Physics groups are scheduled up for all sessions, so we set aside rooms where they can go and discuss during the lunch hour. If the other groups would like a specific room set aside for discussions at any free time, they should let me know. There is also time for the groups QCD, EW, Top, and Flavor to schedule additional topical sessions if they wish. Thank you very much! Michael =========================================================== As background: throughout W Th F, we will have the following rooms available: In Berkner, where the cafeteria is: (room / capacity) Auditorium 476 Room A 50 Room B 65 Room C 23 Room D 17 In the Physics Department Auditorium 140 Lobby (space to hang out, discuss, work) 400 It is about a 10 minute walk between Berkner and the Physics Department. I am trying to schedule the formal program in Berkner as much as possible. Working groups that would like to meet privately or take a retreat can go to the Physics department. Coffee will be available in both places. Here is the proposed schedule: Wednesday, April 3 Introductory Session - ( Auditorium ) 09:00 BNL welcome 20' 09:20 Why are we here?
