Tancredi:

Regarding your massage about a disconnected unpol gas system..

Does this mean that we have no data and will have no data on hydrogen
and deuterium to assess the effect of the collimator on the count rate
w/ target? This is not really good and quite disturbing in my opinion.
Judging from the very encouraging and nice improvement you showed today
in the Z reconstruction with empty target after the collimator was
installed, I hope same improvement is indeed present with "full" target.
Although, nothing would replace the value of actual data. Now we have to
wait until after the mini shutdown.

In my opinion, if there is any doubt about the effect of the collimator
on the "full" target, we should reconnect the gas feed system and take
data before we shut down, even if it takes a shift or so longer.
