Michel informed us that the current NIM paper draft is progressing and a new draft should come out soon. He has worked closely together with Chris and a much improved new draft should come out soon.
On the practical side: He noticed that everybody seems to have trouble running Athena these days. Recent versions either don't run, or they produce bogus results. He has been in tough with Rob about this. Rob advises to try Athena 7.6.0. That is the most recent version that is supposed to be stable, and it also contains the final release of Naoko's code.
Michel is also working on running Athena with the most recent interfaces, but hasn't been able to make them work yet.

Tamara actually submitted a job with Athena 7.6.0 and expects the first Ntuple to be created by the end of the day.

Tayfun reported that he has developed a way to extract the mwpc-EMEC correlated data. He performs a cut based on the y information (where the correlated and uncorrelated events are reasonably well separated), makes a selection and then looks at the x information for the selected events. He no longer imposes any requirement on the beam particle having gone through the F counters. His selection is pretty much complete now for all runs he wants to look at, and he now has to run the analysis chain on it. Once that is done, he will have to study the systematics of the analysis.

Margret said that she is now ready to go to the G4 Tutorial. The final version of tutorial exercises came out a couple of days ago. She has re-installed everything, quickly tested out the various exercises and found a bug which was valued feedback for the organizers.
