Roberto, Kerstin, thanks for writing the abstract, which is fine with me: generic enough to match whatever will be ready by EPS. The goal of course is to include _everything_ Ciao, Concezio. === Concezio Bozzi INFN Sezione di Ferrara Stanford Linear Accelerator Center Via Paradiso, 12 2575 Sand Hill Road, MS 41 I-44100 FERRARA Menlo Park, CA 94025 ITALY U.S.A. tel : +39-0532-781898 tel : +1-(650)-926-2972 fax : +39-0532-762059 fax : +1-(650)-926-3300 mail: [log in to unmask] mail: [log in to unmask] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...era un mondo adulto, si sbagliava da professionisti...
