Hi JH, As you know, Hiro and I have been looking into reconfiguring the Si for the next AuAu run. There is also the idea that you presented a while back on a segmented detector. However, I still think is it useful to look at the current data: At the very least it will have us better prepared to pull this out immediately with the new data. ...steve As you point out, the previous configuration was certainly NOT On Friday, March 7, 2003, at 10:48 AM, J.H.
