    Hi all,
    One small note, the acceptance for h- is not 2-2.2, but more like 
    2.1-2.3 (Claus will correct me if I'm wrong.)  I don't have any reason 
    to believe that this will make any difference at all, but if we are 
    going to do the work (where we evidently is Hiro, for this...) it 
    should be just as easy to use the 'correct' cut.    This should also be 
    put into the draft, and the figures.
    
    More to the point of Hiro's mail:  Do I see correctly that, at least 
    according to HIJING there is no 'isospin effect'?
    
    Finally:  Has anyone been able to find h- spectra vs eta from UA1?  I 
    found them, but only for the sqrt(s)=630GeV run.  The reference is 
    Phys. Lett. B 366, 434 (1996).  Also, note the date of publication, 
    which should make even us proud at how quickly we are moving!
    I will continue to search for UA1 data more applicable to our case, and 
    would be very happy if anyone has any suggestions where to look.
    Cheers,
    Ian
