The LENS Collaboration
The sizable group of scientists who have been meeting several times in the last two years to consider the issues of LENS formally incorporated itself as an International Scientific Collaboration in the meeting at LNGS on Feb 21/22, 2000. Several institutions (some new) in practically every country of this association are forming groups explicitly comitted to LENS. Development funds for LENS acivities have been committed to in several laboratories. Major funding agencies are being briefed on the progress and prospects of LENS. The collaboration structure of LENS now is as follows:
