    > The results are very similar to those presented at QM01 in January of
    > this year. A new analysis of the pi0 yield as measured in our PbGl
    > calorimeter is now available; the spectrum agrees well with that
    > from the PbSc calorimeter. Both results are reported in the letter,
    > along with data for charged tracks. We have also improved our
    > understanding of the systematic errors in these measurements since
    > the preliminary data were first presented.

    > Because the analysis has been extended in this fashion, we feel that
    > it would be appropriate to schedule a seminar, to be presented
    > by BNL's Saskia Mioduszewski. The only date that appears to be
    > available before submission is Friday, August 31st. We will
    > let you know as soon as this has been formally scheduled.
