Dear Tom:

 

Enclosed are copies of the rate tests so far completed on the LECP SN-02. We have yet to do rate tests for D2/D3, D3/D4, D4/D5 coincidences for LEPT. I believe you have copies of the LEMPA rate tests we did with the random pulser.

 

I'll try and get you the rest of the rate test results very shortly.

 

Sincerely,

 

J. W. Kohl
