Dear colleagues,

Close to the end of the year 2013, we would like to give a brief summary and
outlook for ANKE. 

2013 certainly was another successful year:
We published 6 physics papers (plus the ABS-NIM paper) and David Mchedlishvili
has submitted his PhD thesis, which he will defend soon.

In addition to the sucesssful experiments conducted in 2013, we succeeded to bring
into operation an openable/closable storage cell in combination with the polarized
internal target in a recent beam-time. One of the main goals of this development
was to demonstrate the increase of target density (luminosity) which was in fact
achieved. The next task is to retain the high polarization in the cell: for this
reason, as a brief outlook to 2014, we would like to inform you about a short
(1-2 days) test with a Titanium cell which will take place in the middle of coming
January. This will require operation of the ANKE detection systems (Forward and
Positive side).

In this context, our special thanks go to our ZEA-1 colleagues and the COSY crew
for the realization of this program ! 

Let us also remind you on the dates for the next PAC-meeting (24/25 February,
2014) and the corresponding deadline for the submission of proposals/BR (13-th of
January).

Finally, we wish you and your families a merry and peaceful Christmas and health
and happiness in the upcoming New Year ! 


Hans Stroeher and Andro Kacharava
