The users workshop is part of the [http://www.cgwas.org/index.php/Caltech_Gravitational-Wave_Astrophysics_School_2013 CGWAS] and will be held on the last day of the summer school (Friday). Currently the [http://www.cgwas.org/index.php/Caltech_Gravitational-Wave_Astrophysics_School_2013 programme] lists introduction to numerical relativity, an introduction to the ET and two hands-on sessions. The big hands-on session from last year was too technical and should be reworked if used at all. Instead we could consider running a very short head-on nsns run and analysing the data. The runs takes ~20min at a ridiculously low resolution, but might be sufficient to shows how it's done.

! Transportation - Hotel
 
| There are many possible ways of getting from the airport to Pasadena:
 
* Taxi (~$100)
 
* Super Shuttle (~$40)
 
* FlyAway Bus + Metro Gold Line (~$9 in total)  
 
 
 
At any terminal at LAX, you will find departure platforms for all of the above transportation systems just outside the terminals.  
 
  
The FlyAway Bus + Metro is usually very convenient. To get on it, just wait by the blue sign that says "FlyAway Busses". Wait until a FlyAway Bus with sign "Union Station" arrives (it departs every ~30min). Jump on it and go until Union Station (its only and final destination). You pay $7 upon arrival (they have change if you don't exactly have $7). At Union Station, go to the platform that says "Metro Gold Line". Pay $1.50 at the ticket machine (one way ticket). Take the Metro Gold Line (direction "Sierra Madre Station") and exit at "Lake Station" (Caltech or Vagabond Inn) or "Allen Station" (best for the Saga Motor Hotel). Check out google maps for further info. Here's a [http://www.metro.net/riding/maps/gold-line/ link] to Metro Gold Line, including a link to [http://socaltransport.org/tm_pub_start.php this] trip planer (it also knows about FlyAway busses). you can by now buy tickets for the [http://www.lawa.org/flyaway/ FlyAway] buses [https://efleet.digital-dispatch.com/bauerslax/ online].

Summer Einstein Toolkit Workshop 2013

The users workshop is part of the CGWAS and will be held on the last day of the summer school (Friday). Currently the programme lists introduction to numerical relativity, an introduction to the ET and two hands-on sessions. The big hands-on session from last year was too technical and should be reworked if used at all. Instead we could consider running a very short head-on nsns run and analysing the data. The runs takes ~20min at a ridiculously low resolution, but might be sufficient to shows how it's done.

Spacetime Coordinates and Contact Information

The new users workshop is part of CGWAS and is held on the last day of the school (Friday).

Workshop email list: workshop@einsteintoolkit.org, emergencies: Frank Löffler (knarf@cct.lsu.edu, +1-225-202-1752) or Roland Haas (rhaas@tapir.caltech.edu, +1-404-386-3657)
