Such doesn`t happen in most of areas of science and nowadays there are great databases with free access to preprints or updated preprints with the published results. So, most of research doesn`t give back to the world Christmas gifts, so it is expected that people do not care about it not pressure for more funding.
I think a lot of the information on fusion is available. Perhaps you have to pay for it via journals, so it’s not free. But it’s not secret – well, except the portions that overlap with stockpile stewardship.
I wish I could collaborate with LPPX. I became a member of FFS because since it works close to it and I thought I would get more detailed reports from LPPX. I requested Rezwan for the older and more accurate reports, but he didn`t answer me… And, what happened to the December report? Was it briefed already or my email is still not included among the members?
The December report is not out yet. I suspect Eric would prefer to go to quarterly reports rather than monthly. LPP is short-handed enough as it is for the experiments, and writing reports every month eats up Eric’s time and slows things down.
In any case, you’re on the list, so you’ll get a peak at the December report first.
The FFS website has more detailed info than that of the LPPX website in that LPP used to just write a summary of the report, and we would put all the information broken down in articles. As for the November report, they have a more thorough posting on their site, and we put up a link to the entire technical portion as a pdf on our site.
