Backward asymmetriesDone:
•Extraction of elastic events with standard A4 method
•Partly corrections of helicity correlated false asymmetries
•Polarization correction (based on a preliminary analysis)
Ongoing:
•Development of new fit and background subtraction
•Full analysis of helicity correlated false asymmetries
•Target density analysis
•Systematic check of energy spectra (more than 25x106 so far)
•And so on…

Some speculation:
BackPVcoinc AAA )1(
Acoinc= (-15.8 ± 1.3) ppm
Aback= (-3.9 ± 0.9) ppm
Assume dilution factor =0.1
APV= (-17.1 ± 1.4) ppm
No strangeness: A0=-16.2 ppm
=> Not very strange……
But: Analysis very preliminary!!

Summary and Outlook
•PVA4 setup successfully rearranged for backward measurements
•550 hours of backward data taken at Q2=0.23 (GeV/c)2
•First results look reasonable
•Analysis in ongoing
•Measurements at Q2=0.23 (GeV/c)2 will continue soon
