[esa-t474] 3rd Draft of Paper

[Adolphsen, Chris]

Unfortunately, I do not have time to go over this in detail, but from skimming through it, it looks much better (more descriptive and more focused on explaining the results). I encourage you guys to have a read through with a subset of people before submitting it. It will be interesting to see what the reviewers say, assuming they have the fortitude to make it through this tome. Big thanks to Mark for toughing this out.

Subject: [esa-t474] 3rd Draft of Paper

Dear All,

	I've just uploaded the 3rd draft of the paper to UCL's CVS:

http://cvs.hep.ucl.ac.uk/viewcvs/papers/esaBpmNote/built/?root=ILC+Accelerator+code

(note the change in address)

This includes almost all the comments discussed at SLAC during the July 
run with a couple of exceptions, most notably that I could not find a way 
of improving the stability by performing the SVD for every set of events 
as Yury was suggesting. It turns out though, that I doubt this would help 
as we seem to be dominated (with a couple of exceptions) by changes in 
scale based on temperature changes than from IQ Phase variations. However 
that said, we can now demonstrate stability of +-100nm over 8 hours which 
is better than a kick in the teeth :)

Additionally, I believe the paper is now self consistent and as much as is 
possible, explains the results that we've reported. However, PLEASE CHECK 
THIS!!! If you could spend some time going over the paper and make sure 
there is nothing missing/contradictory/incorrect/just plain dumb. I've now 
got to the point where I can't really see the wood for the trees and so 
will probably have missed several things.

The plan now is to give 10-14 days for everyone to go over the paper, 
after which, if you could send me comments, that would be very much 
appreciated. Any UK people who can make it (and anyone else for that 
matter!) will then hopefully devote a full day to going through and making 
sure everyone's happy. If all goes well, I will then submit the paper to 
NIM by the end of September.

I hope this all makes sense,

Many Thanks,

Mark
