    Correct.

    Also correct.

    Yes, that was my feeling too.

    Looking forward to see that.   Also, could you please make your
    calibration code avaliable in a form that is useable by others than
    you and Hiro - that is, in the form of BRAT modules.  Good inspiration
    can be found in modules/calib/tof, modules/calib/chkv, etc. 
    
    I've just started to make a small application that will import last
    years calibrations in to the MySQL database on rcas0005.  I should
    hopefully be done by the end of the week.

    See, that was really the point of BAN 34, to show that you don't need
    the full multiplicity calibrations for the centrality.  All you need
    for a SDE centrality is pedestal, pedestal width, gain, and for the
    TMA, adc gap, and for the SMA, pulser correction.  That is it.  If
    that has not changed from last year, then the new centrality
    calibrations cna be redone in less then 24 hours. 
    
    The rest, the conversion, and correction functions which are based (as
    far as I understood from BAN 26) BRAG simulations (which are time
    consuming) are not needed for the SDE centrality.    
    
    Could I ask you, to read through BAN 34, and give comments.  I really
    think, that I managed to show, that the SDE approach is at least as
    good as the SDM and AM approaches, with the additional adavantage of
    being simpler and faster to calibrate.   
    
    Yours,
