Tanaka-san showed updates on Hbb study at LHeC.  He used his own php
sample but other bg from Uta's.  He changed the btag eta coverage from
<4.7 to <3.0.  The signal changed from 125 to 120, and the backgrounds
from 119 to 93.  Effect of eta coverage seems manageable.  Uta
commented that we had ~x2 signal efficiency at ICHEP14, so we should
trace down the efficiency loss, whether it is due to hadronic
resolution, etc.

Mukesh said they want to submit the double Higgs paper to journal
soon.  He and Xifeng are working on single-top detector level
analysis.  FCNC couplings of t to u/c can be investigated.

Uta said she got a new MSc student from today!
