Abstract

We intend to perform the calibration of the apparatus in order to arrive in the commissioning. Subsequently we will discuss the possibility of finding the fast ray bursts with the BINGO proposal. There will be three sets of lectures for training students of the project and we produce technical material for the astronomers and engineers. (AU)
