    Hi,
    I've just made a number of modifications to the multiplicity and 
    centrality classes to
    incorporate a 200GeV calibration.  I have also updated the ZDC classes 
    to add the
    cfd methods that Hiro has worked on.  Since the ZDC modifications change the
    date structure (with the addition of a cfd vertex), I have bumped the 
    ClassDef for
    BrZdcRdo to 4.   Although the CFD ZDC vertex has a broader distribution 
    with
    respect to the TPM1 vertex, it is found to be more reliable at low ZDC 
    multiplicity since
    there is less of a slewing correction.  For the multiplicity calibration 
    we only use the
    zdc vertex when a BB or TPM1 vertex can not be found, so the slewing 
    correction is
    a significant issue.  
    
    The si/tile/mult classes now all look for a run number from the run 
    manager in their
    Init methods.  They should be selecting a reasonable calibration 
    depending on run number.
    For the 200 GeV data, the calibration is taken from run 4640.  I will be 
    adding calibrations for
    the later runs as soon as possible.  However, let me know if there is a 
    specific later run for
    which you need a centrality and I try to develop one.  In general, I 
    believe that only the
    pedestals are likely to shift significantly run-to-run, although there 
    have been isolated
    cases of detector element going bad.
    
    There will be further refinement of the centrality calculations over the 
    next few days as I
    iterate some of this stuff with the analysis Hiro is doing.
    
    Regards, Steve
