Dear Colleagues,

A preliminary program for the detector investigation
camp at LIGO Hanford Observatory August 20-22 (following
the LSC meeting) is posted at

  http://tenaya.physics.lsa.umich.edu/~keithr/detcamp04/

There will be more than 20 presentations on various software
tools useful in investigating detector artifacts, with ample
hands-on study time. We want participants to become familiar
with, not merely aware of, the tools available to them.

Participants should read over the "Logistics" part of the
detcamp04 web page to make sure they come well prepared to
benefit from the camp. 

If you plan to attend the camp and have not yet registered at the
LSC meeting site http ( http://www.ligo.org/conferences/lsc0804/ ),
PLEASE DO SO NO LATER THAN MONDAY AUGUST 9. We need
an accurate count of participants to understand computing
infrastructure needs. Also, I will be sending out additional pre-camp 
logistical information next week only to registered participants. 
A list of the 30 registered participants as of August 3 is posted 
on the camp web page.

thanks,
Keith
