    Hi Peter,
    Thanks for your write-up.  It strikes me that the efficiency is worse 
    for low momentum and large alpha_x.  Is this because the multiple 
    scattering is so large that the resolution is bad, and thus alpha_x not 
    reliable for low momentum?  It might be interesting to try to look at 
    tracks with small alpha_x (say +-0.05) and see how the efficiency looks 
    as a function of alpha_y.
    If it is multiple scattering, I guess you would also see this in 
    alpha_y.
    I also seem to recall that someone (probably JH or Eun-Joo?) has looked 
    at this before, and seen the alpha_x depedence, but I thought that the 
    explanation was something to do with the properties of the TPC.  If I 
    were Christian, I guess I would say here that it would be nice if we 
    could search the list server archive but since I am not him, I won't 
    mention it.
    Cheers,
    Ian
