Dear colleagues,


let me inform you on the following:

1. Papers:
 - a paper - "Polarizing a stored proton beam by spin flip ?" -
   prepared by (ANKE/PAX) Editorial Team has been accepted in PLB. 
   CONGRATULATIONS !

 - we have received referee report on our PRL paper - 
   "Observation of an ABC effect in proton-proton collisions".
   The second reviewer felt unable to give an opinion on our manuscript, 
   but we have received very constructive comments of Referee A. 
   We have tried to respond positively to the suggestions, and this has 
   been done by ET and the paper has been resubmitted on 24-th of March.

2. Beam time:
   now we are in the process to start the measurements with polarized proton 
   beams (Exp#158 - A.Kulikov, Exp#192 - S.Dymov) in a calendar weeks: #14 - #18.
   The document describing the steps for MD week, as well as plans for BT
   weeks are available from ANKE web ('Beam time').

3. Analysis meeting (5/6 May):
   we have statred to collect suggestions for the contributions 
   of already announced analysis meeting in May. 
   Please, help us to prepare agenda for this meeting.

4. Dubna workshop (20/27 June):
   in order to prepare formalities (visa, flight tickets, reservation of hotels
   and so on) in time for the Dubna meeting, please make up your mind about 
   your participation and register ASAP (via ANKE web -> 'events') !

5. Wilkin-Fest:
   thanks to David Chiladze, there is a link from the ANKE home page 
   to the web page for "Wilkin-Fest" meeting which we had in February.
   Look there and have a fun !



Best regards,
Andro Kacharava
