HFI core team gathers all HFI instrumentalist, data analysts and theorists collaborating in order to perform the analyses leading in the end to a successfully delivery of scientifically usable HFI data to the HFI consortium, to the Planck collaboration, and later to the entire scientific community. It is organised ad hoc for the tasks at hand, people can be in and out for a while and it brings no further special scientific rights to members, just work.

The Core team organisation, as of september 2007, can be found in this document .

In particular, a number of Core Team Working Groups (CTWG) have been defined. The current list is:
 CTWG1: Optics and beams
 CTWG2: Detection chain properties
 CTWG3: HFI cryogenic chain & Thermal effects
 CTWG4: Spectral response and consequences
 CTWG5: Beam & Focal Plance Geometry
 CTWG6: Polarisation specifics
 CTWG7: Maps
 CTWG8: Component Modelling & Separation
 CTWG9: CMB PS & Likelihood code
 CTWG10: Cosmological models & parameters

More informations can be found in the relevant section (click tabs or below)
 "Meetings and organisation" , including meetings slides and task list
 "Reports and files shared area" , including the HFI PFM calibration report
