=== Thursday @ 4:15 p.m. ===
===== Vintner's Ballroom =====
= DEM - Differential Emission Measure - Part 1 =
===== Leaders: Mark Weber and Paul Boerner =====

This is the first of two sessions on using AIA data for thermal (especially DEM) analysis. In this session, we will discuss the techniques and challenges of constraining a DEM using AIA, including instrumental calibration; atomic and plasma physics; spectral codes; and inversion techniques.

==== Brief Talks ====

 * Regina Soufli (~10 min + discussion): Calibration of the EUV bandpasses on AIA
 * Vinay Kashyap (~20 min + discussion): Overview of atomic physics issues; statistical uncertainties in DEM inversion
 * Additional brief talks on DEM inversion techniques/applications welcome

==== Discussion Topics ====

In addition to the discussion of the specific issue raised in the talks, we will attempt to cover some of the broader issues, such as:

 * What is the best way to identify and track the uncertainties in DEMs obtained from AIA data?
 * What can be done to reduce the uncertainties involved in the instrument calibration, abundances, line strengths, and other atomic/plasma physics issues that go into DEM analysis?
 * What inversion techniques are likely to prove most appropriate for AIA?
