    Hi all,
    
    I have 2 questions and especially  need a feedback on those from people 
    working on MRS data:
    
    1- While analyzing data (MRS or FS), I thought it would be really useful 
    to keep the info as to where the track hits the inside of the magnet gap 
    and keep these tracks for background study. So, I went through the 
    BrMagnetVolume method GetSwimStatus which seemed to me the best place for 
    that. I discovered that the magnet front and back planes used were NOT the 
    effective edge planes but the physical gap edge planes. Does it matter ? I 
    think so, especially for D5 (84cm - 76cm = 8cm ~ 0.1% error on the gap 
    length).
    
    2- Now concerning the MRS PID, I'm totally puzzled about the asymmetry 
    between left and right bent particles which show up in mass2 vs P. The tof 
    calibration was done with taking blindly the momentum from D5. If you 
    remember a previous email, I removed all calibrations depending on the Y 
    track position (due to vDrift fluctuations) and hence, the tof cal only 
    depends on the track quality in X and Z (therefore momentum).
     
    I know since I could see it that at least JH had a better symmtrized mass2 
    distribution. If there's a trick I don't know, a correction I forgot, a 
    calibration I ignored, please let me know ASAP.
    
    Ciao
    Djam
