HI, It is nice to see that you have an increased interest in high Pt identified spectra near mid-rapidity. Perhaps the first stage would be to entend the range of the MRS by additional detectors. Modifications to allow the present FFS and BFS to go to 90 degrees is extremely costly and not pratical. Building a new spectrometer for mid-rapidity with high pt (more than MRS with extensions) would probably be the more likely path and less costly path, although requiring more detector work. dana ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jens Jørgen Gaardhøje" <gardhoje@nbi.dk> To: <brahms-l@bnl.gov> Cc: <gardhoje@nbi.dk> Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 5:52 AM Subject: run plan. > Friends, > > We had a short analysis workshop at NBI earlier this week, with the Oslo + > Bergen groups + Radek from Krakow. > > Among other things we discussed the run plan. > > We would like to recommend that we concentrate the efforts on a long full FS > run. > The suggestion is to concentrate on the high pt setting; sin(12)=0.2.
