     Hi Claus,
    
     Where is the plot showing the pt ratio of central (0-10) to
     semi-peripheral (40-60) ?
     Could you please give a bit more details on the plots.
     (not easy to figure out what is plotted there!).
     It would be also helpful if you could number your plots.
    
     2 general questions:
      - Did you analyse all available data ? or is there still some hope
        to increase the statistics?
      - Did you subtract background contributions for the most peripheral
        cuts (in particular, the 40-60%) ?
    
      Best regards,  Fouad
