On the phone: No one <br>
Notes by Elton.

== Announcements==
# Elton will be out of town for the next two weeks

== Normalization ==
# Lewis has updated the abstract and conclusions to agree with Table 3.
# Elton suggested to add a reference to Table 3 in the conclusions for
ease of access to relevant information pertaining directly to the Phi--
paper.
# Hovanes suggested creating a cvs directory for the note, as we need to
place all files (including figures) associated with the note into the
repository. He volunteered to help Lewis with setting up the directory,
but will need access to all files (either a tar file with all figures,
etc, or pointer to a location on the web where they are accessible).
# Once Lewis has updated the note and posted the latest version, Elton can
replace the existing analysis note with the latest version on the clas web
site.

== Comments on PHi-- Note ==
# Hovanes has included all the suggested corrections. Thanks everyone for
reading and providing feedback!
# One remaining item is understanding the dependence of upper limits on
the window size (20 MeV).
#* This should not hold up submission of analysis note.
#* The window enters into the calculations in two places: 1) computing the
background under peak for the upper limit 2) acceptance calculation, where
the cut between reconstructed and generated masses was seen to be
important.
# Final updates will be implemented, wiki updated with both notes
# Hovanes will send the official reply to the committee pointing to the
two updated notes and the two responses to their questions/comments.

== Draft of Phi-- Paper ==
# As we draft the paper, we need to think about how to present our
conclusions. For example, how to address the question of our experiment no
being sensitive to the Lambda 1520.


== Next Meeting Aug 26?, 9:00 am ==
# You can meet in my absence if issues come up.
