[time-nuts] Fast than light neutrino

Hi Pablo:

I started to read:

CTRI-Scope.pdf <http://www.ohwr.org/attachments/764/CTRI-Scope.pdf> 
(323.2 kB) Pablo Alvarez, 26/09/2011 18:46
but without a glossary to decode all the abbreviations or acronyms it's 
very difficult to really understand what's going on.

Is there an introductory document that describes the experiment and 
defines the terms used?

Have Fun,

Brooke Clarke
