Expires: 13-DEC-1998 20:00:38
Informations from the Lecce meeting
1. General.
-Mario Sitta continues as run coordinator. We warmly thank him.
-A letter was sent to the Gran Sasso Director, prof. Bettini,
in answer to his requests about MACRO dismounting.
-A committeee was formed [ G. Giacomelli, M. Spinetti,
C. Gustavino and E. Katsavounidis] to discuss dismounting
matters with the gran Sasso lab.
-The next MACRO collaboration meeeting will be Caltech at the end of
march 1999 [ to be confirmed].
-The collaborators from Morocco will try to organize a small workshop
in Morocco
-In order to speed up the editorial procedures the future Editorial
Boards will be reduced from 4 to 2 people
-D. Heinz and A. Grillo will coordinate the subission of the abstracts
and of the papers for the 1999 ICRC in Salt Lake City
-Safety remains a hot topic. Documentation efforts will be made by
M. Spinetti, C. Gustavino, E. Katsavounidis, and others
2. Papers and Editorial Boards [ we hope that most papers will soon be
ready to be submitted, also the technical paper!]
[the name in parenthesis is the main writing author]:
1. Neutrino astronomy [Ronga]: Giglietto, Spurio, Tarle', Webb
2. WIMPs [Montaruli]: Bernardini, Grillo, Tarle', Webb
3. LIPs [Walter]: Giannini, Lipari, Tarle', Webb
4. Nuclearites [Popa]: Marzari, Patrizii, Lane, Walter
5. Decoherence [Scapparone]: Di Credico, C. Forti, Longley,Levin
6. Technical [De Vincenzi/Stone]:Monacelli,Marzari,
3. List and scientific content of MACRO publications and conference
comunications approved at the Boston and Lecce meetings.
We include here the list of proposed papers, as discussed in the
working groups, in the plenary Pisa and Boston meetings and in the
meetings of the Institutional Coordinators.
The physics items which may be presented at summer conferences are
those approved for the papers [ some may need macro/pub].
* Approved to be made into papers for publication.
+ Physics presented to the collaboration which could lead to papers
or be presented at conferences following approval of MACRO/PUB notes
and/or presentation to collaboration at the next MACRO meeting.
The papers accepted for publication in Conference Proceedings may become
LNGS reports. MACRO/PUBs may be sent to conferences; exceptionally they may
become LNGS reports.
Greetings, BB and GG 11/11/98
-------------------------
PAPERS approved or in the process of approval
NEUTRINOS
* -Semicontained events+ratio [Surdo ]- Urgent
* -Upgoing stopping muons+ratio [Spurio]-Immediately after the previous one
MUON ASTRONOMY
* -Search for astrophysical sources with double muons [Satriano, .....]
We expect a paper draft, which also may include single muons.
* -Sidereal and diurnal variations
MULTIMUONS
+ -Decorrelation [Grillo, Parlati, Battistoni, ...]
* -I(h) at large h [Lamanna, Satta, Bussino, ...]
* -Muon subgroups [Battistoni, Bloise, Forti, Scapparone, ...]
* -Muon interactions {Battistoni, Scapparone, ...]
* -MACRO-EASTOP: expect paper soon [Battistoni].
RARE PARTICLES
* -Nuclearites, LIPs, monopoles,...
