                             Juelich, Dec. 10 1996
Dear colleague,

here is the December issue of our ANKE news. It was nice to meet so
many of you during the collaboration meeting here in the IKP. In the
meantime I've written the minutes of the meeting and stored the
(LaTeX) file on our www-server
(http://ikpd15.ikp.kfa-juelich.de/doc/Anke.html). 

When you have a look at our www pages you might notice some changes
regarding data analysis. During the collaboration meeting we agreed
that several groups (Juelich, Rossendorf and Dubna) will begin to
prepare the software for the on- and off-line data analysis at
ANKE, in particular a track-reconstruction algorithm. In the future I
(M.B.) will try to coordinate the activities of these groups. For that
purpose I've installed a www page for "Simulation Calculations and
Data Analysis" were you might find some useful information. During a
discussion with the people working at the external COSY experiment GEM
(BIG KARL) it turned out that there are many common interests and that
it seems useful to develop common software for data analysis. 

There is a new document on the www polarized-target sub-page on 
"Monitor counters of the Hydrogen (Deuterium) atomic flow" written by
A.Vassiliev. Anybody who is interested may copy the (postscript) file
from our server. 

The proposal on first measurements at ANKE ("Nucleon-Nucleon Final
State Interactions in Single Pion Production") has been approved by
the PAC and the committee already recommended 1 week of beam time for
the initial work. The PAC suggests that a cluster target will be used
instead of a foil target in order to improve background conditions. 

As you heard during the collaboration meeting the dipoles D1/D3 were
not properly manufactured. They will be brought back to the company
and repaired there. I'll let you know as soon as they have been
fixed. 

Please let me remind you that if you have any articles which you want
to have published in our Annual Report 96 you should send them to me
or Kornel Sistemich until December 15. 

Probably, these ANKE news will be the last ones in 1996. I therefore
already now wish you happy Christmas and a successful, healthy new
year 1997 (in which we'll - hopefully - install ANKE in the COSY
ring)!!  
                       Best regards, Markus Buescher
