19. Summary and to do By current calibration method, we are able to get clear mass spectroscopy, which is not included in the calibration data set; Current resolution is still factor of 2 away from expected resolution, the iteration will continue to improve the optical matrices as well as the kinematics; Other issue: High multiplicity tracking problem for heavy target data, Japanese people are still working for it. 19
