    > In the last few weeks our group focalized its activity in the following
    > directions:
    > - upgrading a computer to store and process the experimental data; in
    > present we have a computer with 90 GB hard-disk, 650 MHz frequency and 256
    > MB RAM;
    > - experimental data transfer from DLT to hard-disk; from the two DLTs sent
    > us by Dr.McBreen we have around 30 GB experimental data;
    > - run the experimental data for multiplicities; some preliminary results
    for
    > charged particle are obtained;
    > - simulations with HIJING and UrQMD codes; we done the analysis note 17
    for
    > HIJING code predictions; a new analysis note for UrQMD predictions will be
    > available up to the middle of January; we sent few results
    > to Flemming (behaviour like saturation of the particle multiplicity on the
    > freeze out time, dependence of the pseudorapidity on the collision time);
    > connections with the collision geometry will be available in the future
    > using NEXUS code;
    > - an analysis of the particle detected by ZDCs using HIJING code has been
    > done; we sent few results to the TAMU group;
    > - we begun an analysis of the background created by the decay of some
    > particle using HIJING predictions(lambda, neutral pions etc); significant
    > increases for protons (around 13% at smaller impact parameters and around
    > 10% a higher impact parameters) and neutrons (around 6.5%, respectively,
    > 5%); we try to consider more particles (from the particles which appear in
    > the simulation) and to present soon a report/analysis note.
    > After Christmas and New Year we will begin the work for reconstruction.
    > The major difficulty for us is the very slow transfer rate to take some
    > programs from BRAT.
