Working session on CORSIKA 8 (optional, post-workshop)
2:10 PM - 4:05 PM
This is a post-workshop event. Interested people should contact ralf.ulrich@kit.edu so that I can organize a room large enough for us. This session extends to Friday, and will also continue the following complete week (Max is visiting from Argentina).
