Physics of more than 11 years of COSY-11: history, status, achievements, plans

Particle physics experiments of today depend on and rely upon many people for a successful performance of the experiment, starting from the development of the program to be investigated, continuing with the design and feasibility performance, leading to the construction of the actual experimental setup and coordination,measuring the data under optimal conditions, analyzing the data consistently with as little bias as possible, interpreting the results in view of physics relevance, comparing the results to other quantities and extracting specific measurement categories, publishing the results in the context of relevant, objective and available acquirements and defending the observables in a scientific manner. During the preparation and in the course of the ongoing research the COSY–11 collaboration received support and encouragement from many sides. We appreciate the help from: [...
