Jet algorithms in hadron colliders - Nigel Glover
Nigel gave a 'wet fish in your face' talk about new ways of classifying
the jetiness of events based on probabilities rather than integer numbers of
jets.
The paper on which Nigel's talk was based is available
here.
Offline software: moving from Fortran to OO - Jo Pater
Jo explained how ATLAS plans to move from the Fortran world of the present to
the OO world of the future.
The slides are available
here.
The simulated performance of the Inner Detector - Stephen Haywood
Stephen summarised the performance of the Inner Detector
as given in the TDR and explained what has happened since the TDR
The slides from Stephen's TDR talk are available
here.
Physics demands on detector alignment and magnetic field map - Steve Snow
Steve described the current criteria that define the required alignment and
field map accuracy and asked whether anyone had other criteria that
should be considered.
The slides are available here:

B Physics review - Mark Lehto
Mark posponed the review till next time and described his (successful) attempts
to run the B-physics code at Sheffield.
