DES Shift Schedule, Season 5¶

(05/09/17) Note: We expect to have the Y5 schedule sometime around mid-June. At that point I will start asking for observers and forming the observing teams. Until then, though I am accepting volunteers so that I have a list of people who are willing to go. If you want to be on that list, send email to Diehl@fnal.gov and let me know your date preferences (if any) and observing experience (if any). Observing experience is not required.

(07/29/17) We have a schedule. We are looking for volunteer observers.

(12/29/17) Schedule booked.

US DES Collaborators to make travel arrangements through Fermilab (langcm60@fnal.gov). Remember that the DOE requires the trips be scheduled more than 30 days in advance and that if the paperwork is late it may be impossible to schedule.

US DES Collaborators planning to spend more than 30 days in Chile need to have special "SAFE Training" and to confirm
that to FNAL. See this web page: http://bss.fnal.gov/travel/over_30.html.
