Update on EUSO-Huntsville Report: Phase A Teams and Future Phase B Preparations in France
The EUSO-Huntsville report outlines the contributions and activities of various French teams involved in Phase A, including APC/PCC, LAPP, and LPSC, alongside collaborations with theoretical groups. The report notes ongoing reorganization efforts by CNES since summer 2003 and anticipates a new call for proposals in 2004. A proposal has been submitted based on previous requests, and while details of the evaluation process remain pending, strong support for Phase B has emerged from CNRS. Engagement with strategic partners and preparation for upcoming scientific activities is emphasized.
