    Hi BRATs, 
    
    I've started a new development cycle of BRAT. 
    
      Version: 1.16.0
      CVS Tag: BRAT-1-16-0 
    
    Changes: 
    
    * BrMultRdo is now compiled but still not used. 
    
    * Introduced Mult base class BrMultModule for almost all TMA and SMA
      modules.  This class has the (protected) method FindVertex, so that
      all modules deriving from this class will use the same method to
      obtain the vertex position (in reference to Steve's previous
      concern).  This class (or a derived class) could be expanded, to
      hold many of the almost identical TMA and SMA algorithms. 
    
    * Important bug fixes to Br[Tile|Si|Mult]CentModules.  In particular,
      they will not overwrite each others histgrams. 
    
    * Important bug fix to Br[Si|Tile]Calibration when returning
      centrality functions.  These were introduced by me in BRAT 1.15.9. 
    
    * Preliminary code to use total deposited energy (rather than the
      multiplicity) for the centrality calibrations have been put into 
      Br[Tile|Si]CentCalModule.  Br[Tile|Si]CentModule can not use this as
      of now. 
    
    I've checked the calibrations for the centrality as determind from
    Br[Tile|Si|Mult]CentModules, and they all seem ok in |Vz| < 20cm,
    while Br[Tile|Si]CentModules does reasonably well up to |Vz| < 30cm,
    and with a bit of good will, up to |Vz| < 35cm.  
    
    I've attached a plot "cmpPlots.ps" to show you this.  The histograms
    are normalised to "minimum-bias".  That is trigger 4, |Vz| < 50cm, and
    for each module 
    
    * BrMultCentModule: at least one hit in TMA above threshold AND 
                        at least one hit in SMA above threshold
    
    * BrSiCentModule:   at least one hit in SMA above threshold
    
    * BrTileCentModule: at least one hit in TMA above threshold
    
    The plots are from run 2481.  There's approx 300,000 events that go
    into these plots. 
    
    The centrality calibrations was done using the same event sample, and
    for both the SMA and TMA Rdo code, the outlier correction was set to
    kNoCorrection.  That means, that to reliable use the
    Br[Tile|Si]CentModules, you _must_ do no outlier correction in
    Br[Tile|Si]RdoModule.  I believe the same goes for BrMultCentModule. 
    
    It seems that there's a systematic rise around 10cm < Vz < 30cm for
    the TMA and SMA code.  I believe that can be remedied by using a 0'th
    degree polynomial parameterisation (rather than a 1'st as presently
    done), but I haven't checked it.  See also the attached file
    "cutPlots.ps" 
    
    Yours,
