    yes, same behaviour (all settings I could check are affected).

    it was a question. I don't know yet. For what I know, there is some non 
    linearity that I could deduce from the multiple matchings (more than one 
    track matched with a TOF hit), the dE peak is positioned at 1.7 instead of 
    2. But this is maybe not so reliable
    
    > 3)What fraction of the data around beta~1 has deltaE>2?
    
    around 5% at 4 deg (might be setting dependent).

    there's no slat dependence, all of them shows this stuff individually
    That's why I suspect it's the slewing correction. This calibration 
    provides a set of parameters for each top and bottom tubes. If they're not 
    good, you can get this behaviour. What I will do to make sure is to make 
    the same plots but with dE_top OR dE_bot and NOT the geometrical average.

    more later.
