Old list(s) of acronyms

[admorris]

I forget where I got these from (maybe the 2008 JINST papers?) but I just remembered I downloaded a list of acronyms for the LHC and its experiments for the purpose of loading them into an IRC bot:

LHCb.txt might be useful

Seems there are indeed in there some terms not in the glossary. Others are not LHCb-specific, so can be skipped.

Many terms are already in the glossary. Others are not relevant. Some would be great to have in :-).

Hi Adam, I removed from your list above some of the entries that are already in the glossary. More clean-ups to be done towards a minimal list of what should go to the glossary ... (I removed for example "CVS" since no longer relevant for us and anyway not at all LHCb / HEP specific.)
