[G12] new secondary beam observation

[John Price]

Hi Ken:

I would point out that, because pp scattering is already
well-understood, it is more important that we show we can do that
correctly.  Otherwise, there is no reason to believe our results for
Lambda p.

It will take a lot more effort before it can be demonstrated that we get the correct N-N scattering cross section, and even more time before we can do something quantitative with any other particles.
