  CHIPS: Mikhail Kossov
  ---------------------

     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.
