Your sending out to the the public domain fragmented calculations. Don't you have patents ,copyrights, trade secrets involved in these calculations ? Because strangely some of results , calculation parameters don't seem to be encrypted . Is there a problem or is this really not important ? I find it simply odd.

CERN has very few of these, and certainly none in the area of accelerator design, which LHC@home is crunching. We are an open research establishment and don't need to encrypt or protect our technical data. Thanks for the concern, anyway! Ben Segal / LHC@home Coordinator ID: 3672 · Reply Quote
