1st User Workshop held
This week, on the 26th and 27th of November, the 1st Allpix Squared User Workshop was held at CERN. The workshop was well-attended, with 35 registrants, and was split between an introductory session containing an installation guide and hands-on step-by-step tutorial, and more detailed talks on advanced features along with current user examples.
There were a number of useful discussions and feedback from the participants, in particular underlining the strong interest in new features such as support for high-Z materials, calculations of induced signals and the ability to customise charge carrier mobilities and trapping. Another useful outcome of the workshop was the preparation of a discussion forum, intended to allow users and developers to ask questions about current functionality and discuss possible implementations of new features.
