After yesterday's meeting and talking with Bogdan, I assembled a list of small projects or things to look into, either for myself or the students. In no particular order, they are:

• Find a way to simplify the ND analysis
• Simple MC to model the BB detector response using Hydrogen data as the template, followed by
• ... use momentum distributions of nucleons in Carbon-12, Helium-3, Nitrogen, and Silica to generate Ppar-q and Pperp distributions to be compared with our observed momentum distributions.
• Research the mixed-event analysis technique and its applicability for exclusive reactions.
• Look at e- vs. pi- and pi0 tracking 'efficiency', selecting events with the shower/preshower.
• Effect of raster-size on the background/asymmetry in production runs.
• Bogdan suggested using the event display to look for elastic proton-proton scattering events in the shielding of the ND, since it is 1/2 of the proton-proton total cross-section at 2 GeV/c.
