Example: http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/forum_thread.php?id=3536 The author of this message is (as I understand it) the leading scientist when it comes to sixtrack. He is the driving force behind it. About once a month he is writing a status message in the news section. On newer BOINc clients (7.xx series) these will also be displayed in the message tab.

The results are indeed useful as can be seen from the published papers which reference the BOINC volunteers contribution. Right now I am the main user as I am running an intensity scan on behalf of the Group. I a behind with the analysis and also I have the famous prblem of the "tail" so that none of my current studies are actually complete and ready to be analysed! I hope to send a new Status Report today. Eric. ID: 24922 · Reply Quote
