As Barry mentioned at the collaboration meeting in Pisa, the assignment
of the 1998/99 MACRO data (physicist) shifts is ready. For those of you
who prefer looking things on the web, please check out
http://wsgs02.lngs.infn.it:8000/macro/shift-1998-99.html
(you'll have to login as macro with the standard password).
The shift schedule is also appended at the end of this e-mail message.
Please go over the shifts assigned to your institution and make sure
this is as you were expecting them. We've tried to accomodate every request;
if there are still conficts with the assigned shifts, you'll have to look for
a trade by contacting directly the listed persons.
The new cycle starts Jan 12, 1998 and includes 34 two-week shifts that
correspond to 34 US/Pisa authors coming from 7 primary institutions.
Please notice the following general rules for the US/Pisa shifts that
had been in effect for more than two years now:
o Groups, not individuals are responsible for shifts. The number of
shifts assigned to a group during a cycle is equal to the number
of authors listed under this group in the current author list.
o An individual is permitted to take no more than 3 shifts (6 weeks)
during the cycle.
o Shifts start on Monday, continue through the weekend in the middle
and end Friday evening in the second week.
o The weekend in the middle of a physicist shift is covered only by
the shift physicist (no shift technician) so it is important to be
present.
Thank you for your attention.
