Is the KeK preprint library down? (or KeK itself)

  • Thread starter Hepth
  • Start date
In summary, the KeK preprint library is currently down, causing difficulties for users trying to access its resources. This is a major setback for researchers and scientists who rely on the library for their work. Efforts are being made to address the issue and restore the functionality of the KeK preprint library as soon as possible.

Perhaps due to the earthquake? Or does anyone know if it is just offline for some other reason (or for good).

I was trying to access this paper :
http://www.slac.stanford.edu/spires/find/hep/www?irn=2719169

as I lazily didn't want to have to walk over to the library to copy it, and I noticed none of the scanned KeK pdfs work for ANY articles.

Anyone have info on it?

There are still power outages at KEK: http://www.kek.jp/quake/en/index.html The preprint server is low on the list of problems they are facing.

A tsunami over the Library of Alexandria would be identical damage. Hope that they have a backup.
