    Hi
    
    There is somehow two ways to interpret the results. 
    
    1) The pointing is worse at large angles in TPM2 so therefore it is also 
    worse at low momentum
    2) The efficiency is worse at low momentum therefore the efficiency is 
    also worse at large TPM2 angles 
    
    The way I understand the results is that it is the last point that is true
    becuase the efficiency seems to be the same in all settings if you look as
    a function of momentum while the angle dependence differs quite a lot.  
    This also explains why the efficiency is lower in low field settings even
    though there are actual more straight tracks than in high field settings.
    If there is a monetum dependence it might be the result of multiple 
    scattering or the energy deposited in the slat and will likely be 
    different for different particle species (masses). 
    
    Cheers
       Peter
    
    P.s : I am gonna try to run some more settings and see if they agree with
    what I shown so far.
