Dear colleagues,


let me inform you on the following:

1. Papers:

 - a paper - 'Determination of target thickness and luminosity from beam 
   energy losses' - has been accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. ST-AB 
   CONGRATULATIONS for the Editorial team and whole ANKE collaboration!

 - a paper - 'Beam profile measurements for the development of storage cells 
   at the ANKE facility of COSY' (K.Grigoryev and others) - has been submitted 
   to NIM and available from our home page. 
   
 - a draft of a paper prepared by EDITORIAL team (V. Komarov and others
   as given in the author list) for submission to PRL - 'Observation of
   inverse diproton photodisintegration at intermediate energies' - 
   is available from our home page.

--> Please have a look at the paper, and give comments and
    suggestions for possible changes to improve it even further,
    checking especially the areas of your special expertise.
--> Deadline for replies regarding the above paper is 26-th of May 2008.
--> Please, send your comments etc., to Vladimir Komarov and to me.


After the deadline, the ET will take the responsibility to consider all
input, prepare the final paper (including the author list) and then
give a brief chance for further comments before submission.


2. POF-2/PAC#35:
   We would like to ask all the group leaders to send by e-mail to Hans Stoeher
   and me the short description/list of the intentions for the physics
   program/proposals which you would like to perform at ANKE during the next 
   POF-2 period (2010-2014).

   This statement is important for COSY user community to show the activity of 
   the external groups and will be passed by the chairman of CANU to COSY-PAC 
   chairman.




Best regards,
Andro Kacharava
