Hello All, First, thanks to Nikolai for his presentation. I had a few followup questions to this morning's presentation to make sure I understood the content of http://indico.fnal.gov/getFile.py/access?contribId=0&resId=0&materialId=slides&confId=3720 1.) There was some question about the content of the file excl-8e4-pl. The slide says the particle position is on the face of the nozzle, but during the talk it was mentioned that that was a typo. Plotting r-z for the contents of the file indicates that the particles are being produced from +/-~7m in z and out to 2m in r. 2.) The readme file at http://www-ap.fnal.gov/~strigano/mumu/readme describes the format of the file, but there are more columns than are documented. Can someone remind me of the full format of this text file so I can make the distributions myself? 3.) Is it correct that this file represents 1% of a mu+ beam bunch? Do other runs exist? There were questions during the talk about the magnitude of fluctuations. I would expect that anything with 100 million particles would be smooth, but if the files exist, it would be easy enough to do this study. 4.) Do files corresponding to the mu- bunch exist? If so, please point me to them. I would like to understand how smooth these distributions are, and if there are any systematic differences between the two beams. I understand fully that this is very much a work in progress, but I would appreciate the opportunity to understand the current snapshot.
