Chris,

This project was started for the purpose of simulating the paths of particles in the LHC for the purpose of tuning the magnets that focus the beam. That job has been completed for now but they plan to upgrade the LHC and use different particles than they are using now. Both of those factors will require tuning the magnets differently so there is a good chance there will be more work here eventually but nobody knows for sure when that campaign will start. Nor has there been any promise that the job will definitely be given to Sixtrack. From what I've heard in the mainstream media, I doubt it will start in 2012 but ya never know. The only sure thing is that the people who know aren't talking.

There's not a lot of work coming from LHC@Home V1 but occasionally something "squirts" out from CERN and they are usually quite short. I just got 12 WU today. The previous work was on 5/11.
