    I have done a quick check for 10k events using the mult from JH's macro -
    see
    www.fys.uio.no/~bjornhs/ZDCcorr_MultEff.ps
    It seems that we do indeed pick out the most central events with this
    cut. (The diff. in number of entries between the top and bottom plots is
    because of events where the mult macro gives no result.)

    I'll have that by tomorrow.
