hey dan C
here's something you should do immediately if u haven't already
You might have noticed a file called best250.dat on the website. Did you get it?
Basically all your results are saved in results.txt and results.dat...when u upload your results the .txt file is deleted. the .dat file however remains...
As u gain results the algorithm modifies itself to produce better and better muoun transfers and to analyze more particles as a result..the higher the transfer + particles the better it is for both you, your stats, and the project as a whole.
Normally this is a self-running process. i.e. the algorithm learns from ur results and slowly improves {ideally}....the best250.dat file however gives u the best 250 results as of october 2002. these allow you to sort of get a "jump" on things..
Download best250.dat from
www.stephenbrooks.org/muon1 -its at the very bottom of page-...unzip it and open it w/ notepad...
If u already have a results.dat in ur muon folder COPY..PASTE the best 250 into that file and save it (once again using notepad)...
If u dont (say b/c ur first work unit hasn't finished yet) simply copy the unzipped results.dat into ur muon folder....
That's it. Welcome to the team and enjoy!
