Summary and outlook
e+e--pair analysis of 40 AGeV data shows similar enhancement observed at 158 AGeV. Both agree with present theoretical descriptions.
Hadron data at 40 AGeV are very useful for studying beam energy systematics of hadronic observables
2000 run data on tape:
  - 33M central Pb-Au events at 158 AGeV
  - high resolution spectroscopy of r/w/f ® e+e-
- wealth of hadron data, including f ® K+K-
