7. MaGrid tutorial
The team has organised a national grid tutorial in the Faculty of Rabat, on 13th June 2008;
20 participants of different profiles (teachers and students) reached this workshop.
A temporary grid UI has been installed and used for the tutorial. The official Magrid UI was shutdown due to the site change of CNRST

8. Magrid site status
Regular EVO meetings are organised between Moroccan team in order to follow the setup of the site. Athena is installed and tested OK
In progress : a complete (about 60Gbites) CERN software mirror will be installed
In a second phase, the packages for Calice will be installed, as well as Gate for medical physics simulations

9. Brachytherapy in ATLAS top quark physics
Main physic topics for the Moroccan members
in ATLAS top quark physics
in Calice testbeam data analysis
In medical physics : PET tomography simulations
Linear accelerator
Brachytherapy
