      JQMD, Fritiof models are likely alternatives

   Begin migration from G4NDL to Livermore neutron data library format
      this includes developing a new high precision neutron category of
      models to eventually replace the existing HP models 


 Mikhail Kossov (CHIPS)
 ----------------------

   Cross sections:

     Subtract the CHIPS elastic XS from the total XS measurements and use them 
     together with the inelastic XS measurements for CHIPS parameterization of 
     inelastic XS for nucleons

     Use the CHIPS parameterization of electromagnetic pA elastic scattering 
     for a discrete process, which can substitute for multiple scattering 
     (continuous) process of protons

     Use NN and NA elastic XS approximation for simulation of incoherent 
     quasi-elastic and coherent charge exchange reaction of nucleons on nuclei

   Tuning low energy nucleon-nucleus CHIPS inelastic interaction:

     Collect data base of differential multiplicities for the tuning of pA 
     inelastic interactions, make a test facility (test49) for validation and 
     tuning of Geant4 inelastic processes

     Find an optimal combination of deep inelastic CHIPS nuclear fragmentation 
     and quasi-elastic (a number of effective quasi-free nucleons)
    
     At medium and high energies generalize quasi-elastic interaction (with 
     fixed number of effective nucleons) to quasi-free NN interaction (multiple 
     meson production on quasi-free nucleons).

   Develop low energy simulation of antiproton-nuclear interactions

     Parameterize elastic and inelastic cross-sectoions
     Tune the CHIPS inelastic antiproton-nuclear interactions for low energies

   Upgrade photo- and lepto-nuclear single nucleon production

     Tune (gamma,n) branching of photo-nuclear reaction;
     Convert (n,gamma) cross-sections to (gamma,n) cross-sections

     Add quasi-elastic (l,l' N) lepto-nuclear reactions

   As soon as the low energy CHIPS program is done for nucleons (and 
   anti-nucleons), make first steps for CHIPS pion-nuclear.


 Nikolai Starkov
 ---------------

   Coherent elastic hadron scattering from nuclei: 
     optimize calculation of elastic scattering distibution 
     function (large increase in speed expected).

     take into account difference between hadron-proton and 
     hadron-neutron parameters of elastic scattering amplitude

     prepare a generator of quasi-elastic hadron-nucleus scattering summed
     over all discrete and continuous parts of the spectra

   Continue work on generator of inelastic hadron-nucleus events
   in soft transfer momentum area (|t|<=1.5 (GeV/c)2)

   nucleus-nucleus models
