    Dear Collaborator,
    
    As I mailed you yesterday there is only about 3 day left of the dAu run
    (ending Sunday evening) . Unfortunately it is unlikely we will be able to
    complete all of our goals.
    The 4 deg (y~3) measurements are almost complete with only another few hours
    of good beam neede . Following this the remaining time will be devoted to
    12 deg running at 1/2 field (A-pol) to measure a good pt spectrum for pi-,
    if beam is stable up to 3-3.5 GeV/c. The mid-rapidity measurements will be
    aimed at 40 deg which looks quite clean, and with the Cherenkov C4 and
    extended tof we should have a considerable pt-reach; the main limitation
    is of course statistics, so we hope for good stores like the one yesterday
    until this noon.
    
    The overall summary of settings are posted on the operator Web page and I
    plan by early next week to give you an overview of achievements uring this
    run, and what is in the plans for the pp run.
    
    regards
      Flemming
