update on pp pythia  	F.Videbaek
==================================
Flemming has made a first systemaDc view on the different Pythia
tunes for 62 and 200GeV concentrating on dN/dy comparisons for total
INL cross sections. Note tunes seem to increase by 10% for pions  
whereas data increases by 25%. There seems to be similar problem for  
the kaon. Our 4pi yields are 30% below quoted 4pi yield at ISR. They  
assumed that the slope of the kaon spectrum had no Pt dependence. JH  
worried that Pythia is most likely at low Pt. (Also dN/dy from  
protons is completely off)
General message is that energy dependence is not well described.

Flemming asked Kris about his large pion yields (1.5 at y=0 which is  
out of line with the systematics). Kris is looking at different  
functions. In previous tries Levy (Tsallis) was the same as power law.


d/p Michael and Casper
======================

We have included plots of the correction factor for weak decays vs  
pt, y.
Michael has also rewritten the text that deals with the feed-down  
correction. The general message is that the feed-down correction  
varies very slowly with rapidity and does not change the main  
conclusions of the paper. Michael and Casper now invite general  
comments on the paper which is on the agenda.

A few comments were made at the meeting:
Ref [22] Fung Q should be upper case. Acknowledgements, steal from
Correction factors should be only one line.
Abstract deuterons in abstract.
Names: I.C. Arsene
Make a version with line numbers, (LIne number style), line number  
sty file. google it. Take acknowledgments from new stopping paper but  
remember that Polish grant number is not correct.

Ramiro: d-A
===========
Ramiro had a small setback on d-A. He has lost his match of runs with  
cross talk and those with not. He has to recreate these normalization  
constants for each run. He has a web page for d-A analysis
http://www4.rcf.bnl.gov/~bramreco/mainpage.html

There has been a new set of calculations for the RdA from the Mc  
Clarren group.

AOB:
Next meeting Wednesday 6th.
