******************************************************************** 2nd ECFA/DESY STUDY ON PHYSICS AND DETECTORS FOR A LINEAR COLLIDER. NEWSFLASH BEFORE OBERNAI ************************ 1. Let me remind you that our next workshop is at Obernai, near Strasbourg, from lunchtime Saturday 16 October to lunchtime Tuesday 19 October (with an organisers+conveners meeting to 16.00hrs on 19th). You can find details at "http://ireswww.in2p3.fr/ires/ecfadesy/index.html" Individual working group leaders are putting the parallel sessions together. 2. We have a new working group called the "LoopVerein" which will deal with higher order calculations of standard model proecesses. The convener is Fred Jegerlehner. Details are at "http://www.ifh.de/theory/TLV/TheLoopVerein.html" 3. The electronic library of LCreports is now active, thanks to Ties Behnke. There is a link to it from our main webpage at "http://www.desy.de/conferences/ecfa-desy-lc98.html" This includes a first invitation to submit reports for the proceedings of our study so far. We hope to see many of you in Obernai. Yours ever David Miller for the organising committee ********************************************************************
