Dear colleagues,


let me inform you on the following:

1. Papers:
 - the final version of EPJA paper (including the author list) - 
   "Interpretation of K^(+)Kbar^(o) pair production in pp collisions",
   prepared by EDITORIAL team (A. Dzyuba and others), is available 
   from our home page and intended for submission on 21-th of April.
   Thank you for the valuable comments you made on this paper !

   Before the submission, please, have a look at the paper again. In case 
   of further remarks from your side, please contact the ET immediately.  

 - we have received review reports on our PR ST-AB paper -"Determination 
   of target thickness and luminosity from beam energy losses",
   with a suggestion for a revision. The first referee is agreed 
   to publish the paper with some corrections while the second one 
   says - 'method is well-known, though not at all well-documented'.  
   The editor fairly encouraging. To satisfy the referees comments, 
   work is in progress and the replay is intended for resubmission within 
   the next few days.
  
   Those who are interested in the reports, please contact M. Hartmann. 
   
 - a few papers are still in preparation and will be announced separately.

2. PAC:
   already announced documents for the coming PAC meeting (#35) in May 
   are available from our home page (except only one proposal which will 
   appear on the web over the weekend).



Best regards,
Andro Kacharava
