ONGOING AND UPCOMING EVENTS
The FoCal test beam at the CERN PS (6-21 June 2022) is going in full swing. The main priority of the group is to test the FoCal-E with 18 pad layers and the new aggregator readout, as well as to test a 1.1 m long tower of the new FoCal-H prototype detector. More photos in the cds link.

Healthy Minds for Master Minds Workshop: Thank you to those who participated in the Healthy Minds for Master Minds Workshop at ALICE week last week! In order to collect your feedback on the Mental Health Workshop conducted during last week's ALICE week, we kindly ask you to take a few minutes to answer the questions in this survey. This will help the organizers in view of future follow up events.
