Participants

Participants of HIFT can be broken into two categories: those that directly developed and organized the program and those that were invited to participate in the detection of the acoustic signals at many places around the globe. The larger HIFT collaboration was a world-wide, multinational group of people. Participation was generally enthusiastic.
