    Hi,
    I calculated efficiency in all FS detectors, except the Cherenkovs (C1
    and RICH), for all
    the runs between 5361 and 5823 (4 deg, field 1/5, 1/3 and 1/2) .
    The results are stored on rcas in the file
    ~ufstasze/effic/Effic5361_5972.root as a
    3-dim histograms. The histograms are named like in the following
    example:
    Rot4Field1_3B_T5,
    4        - rotation
    1_3B - filesd 1/3 at B polarity
    T5     - detector T5.
    Title of each histogram contains list of runs which were used in the
    calculations.
    x, y, z axis of each histogram is related to centrality ([%],using
    Tile+Si), local x position in given detector [cm]
    and local x-slope [rad] in a given detector, so the histograms contain
    efficiency  versus centrality,
    x add x-slope.  To see the binning one can do
    (Rot4Field1_3B_H1->Project3D("x"))->Draw();, and the same for "y" and
    "z".
    
    I haven't attempt to parametrize the efficiency, and in many cases this
    is very problematic,
    e.g. to go from 3 dim. to 1 dim. distribution one have to integrate over
    two of the 3 variables, using
    some sample of tracks. The problem is, that the samples we use after the
    pid cuts can significantly differ from
    the sample of my reference tracks (different x and x-slope
    distributions, and different bias on centrality)
    and the averaging will lead to a different results.
    Opinion and suggestions are very welcome.
    
    If everything goes well I will add efficiency calculations for run
    between
    5513 and 5972 (3 deg-1/2,  8 deg-1/5,  12 deg - 1/5,1/2,2/3).
    
    Some debbuging/analysis plots are available from
