Summary and future planPreliminary raw SSA at Q2 = 0.98 is non-zero and consistent between L-arm data and R-arm data. An independent cross-check was being carried by E. Long.
Raw SSA at Q2 = 0.13 and Q2 = 0.46 is almost finished and will be released soon after an independent cross-check.
Target analysis by Y. Zhang was almost completed.
