... As I mentioned at the recent Groningen international SKA meeting, there is a need for a large-area multi-beaming demonstrator for at least two reasons. ... The LOFAR instrument, to operate in the frequency range 10-250 MHz, will contribute vital information to the design and operation of a new class of multi-beaming telescope. ... The different operating frequency range also means that LOFAR cannot illustrate the scientific potential of area re-use (multi-beaming) in the cm-wave band. ...

... The low energy plasma composition spectrometer AMEI-2 is built to be able to find in the low energy range of the phase space (E, q, j) and separate the fluxes of the major ion species in the magnetotail - H+, He++, He+ and O+, and analyse their energy and angular distributions. ... Electrostatic angular scanning in one direction and the use of the spin of the satellite to sample the other angle give the ability to measure 2-D distributions for each ion specie several times per spin. ...

. This diagram illustrates how a background image may be repeated within the content and padding areas of a box. In this example, a background image is first centered within a box (established by the BODY element of the example). The box contains paragraphs of text, shown in gray to make them discrete. The image, a blue wavy line on a pale yellow background, is then repeated vertically, to the top and bottom of the BODY box. The effect is to create a wavy band down the center of the page. Return to image.
