Summary James Bueno, WNPPC 2008, 15 February The final measurement is dominated by uncertainties in simulating. Validation of the spin tracking is well underway. Improvements in data acquisition in 2006/7 will reduce uncertainties. Subsidiary muSR experiment has confirmed no fast depolarisation exists (this could not be measured by TWIST). Time dependent depolarisation uncertainties can be minimised by selecting genuine target stops. 19/20
