TITLE: What is the Plancherel Measure for $\textrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{Q}_p)$?
QUESTION [6 upvotes]: I am looking for a description of the Plancherel Measure of $\textrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{Q}_p)$. Has this been calculated yet? I've search many places for it, but I've only found results on real/complex special linear groups and on $p$-adic general linear groups. Any help would be appreciated.

Bushnell, Kutzko and Henniart have shown, for a general reductive group,  that the restriction of the Plancherel measure to each block of the Bernstein decomposition may be computed via isomorphisms of Hecke algebras :

In the following paper, Bushnell and Kutzko show that for certain blocks of ${\rm SL}(N)$the Hecke algebra
is isomorphic to a Iwahori Hecke algebra for some ${\rm SL}(N')$ over another field.
