    • The compilation method was somewhat haphazard. Incompleteness is probably fairly large for papers written in the past decade, and entire subject areas (e.g. decaying particles) have been omitted. Conference proceedings and other articles in books have been excluded. Suggestions and corrections can be sent to the address below.
