Summary of Experimentation Issues

2.1 Beam Structure Many machine concepts have been proposed for the next generation linear collider. A good representation of the parameters for these desigrrs is included in an extensive paper on background issues by Chen et al.,l which was presented and extensively discussed at this conference. Rather than try to make long lists of comparisons and keep track of the changes in the machine desi...

Projected changes in Arctic Ocean freshwater budgets

[1] Arctic Ocean freshwater budgets are examined from 10 models participating in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report. This includes an analysis of sea ice transport and storage, ocean transport and storage, and net surface flux exchange. Simulated budgets for the late 20th century are compared to available observations, followed by an analysis of simulated cha...
