    A minor clarification:
    I do not want run 3925.  I was under the (mistaken, as it happens)
    impression that the ZDC calibrations that you already had were OK for the
    entire run. (And I will let Michael tell you where I obtained my mistaken
    impression)  I suggested that the existing calibration be copied and
    inserted into the data base as run 3925, so that it could be used for all
    early runs.  BUT PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS, as the calibrations are NOT so
    stable.
    What I think might be profitable:
    1. Calibrations for runs after 5361 ( I suppose this is now done)
    2. Calibrations starting at 5361 and going toward lower run numbers.
    3. Energy calibrations.  (note to Michael: one of the reasons we did not
    want to use ZDC in centrality determinations was that there was no energy
    calibration...so we seem to have a bit of non-optimal feedback...)
    
    Cheers,
    Ian
