Talks to be submitted by the American LCD group to the Sitges parallel sessions

Michael Peskin

(This list supposed to summarize the work going on under the aegis of our collaboration. Talks marked with ? are not confirmed. I am happy to add projects to this list, and I also encourage people with projects not listed here to submit them directly to the Sitges organizers. I have tried to sort the projects according the organization of parallel sessions at Sitges, as best I understand it. --MEP)
