In a nutshell, they reported their methods and analysis strategy, but not any data, which is coming soon. New data will start to be collected again in 2025.

what does the slide

X17 analysis: a typical reconstructed e+ e- event [DATA

X17 analysis: Gamma spectra [DATA

X17 analysis: Signal region and sidebands

X17 analysis: A bit more on the sidebands

represent ?

A X17 data collection fully exploiting the 1030 keV is foreseen during the first
part of 2025 (Physics Run 2025)
Thanks a lot for your attention and stay tune


2025 :/

things taking forever

Pama-Ny. divergence, canid vs felid, mini mammoth: Trait diversity was analysed using phylogenetic methods and compared with language diversity since previous studies have suggested an association between Pama-Nyungan language evolution and population dispersal. We were able to demonstrate a strong association between the phylogenetic history of language and initiation ritual but not between language and mortuary ritual or rock motifs.

The Pama-Nyungan link is blog worthy. I'd guess that the dingo might be the source of their advantage which allowed them to sweep widely. The dog v. cat is cute. The baby mammoth find it interesting.

@neo The key point is that all of them basically involve fake data for illustration purposes.
