Tanaka-san reported on the CAL resolution study for Hbb.
He has run only the signal (CC channel), background processes
are still running.  For different constant terms in HCal, the signal
yield changed little (less than 10%).  He will ad backgrounds when
the jobs are finished.

Rashidul reported updates on FCNC top coupling study.
For very large values of coupling (>10) the cross section
decreases.  He is investigating on the usage of narrow-width
approximation in MadGraph.  Masahiro commented that, for
huge values of couplings, the BR t->bW decreases since
top predominantly does the FCNC decay.  Uta commented
that comparing with other generators (eg PYTHIA) would be
interesting.

Mukesh said their Higgs paper got comments from PRL referee.
