    Hi 
    
    I will make another comment now that we are talking about the TOF. I 
    looked at the FFS to get a better y=2 point for my thesis and I find that 
    the TOF efficiency of H1 calculated in my simple way
    (pointed&&good hit)/pointed 
    have 2 strange problems, see http://www.nbi.dk/~pchristi/BRAHMS/TOF/ 
    
    The first problem is that the efficiency is very significantly lower for 
    the the first slats. 
    
    The second problem is that there seems to be a strong even-uneven slat
    dependence with as high as 10% difference between neighboring slats. This
    must have something to do with the pointing and likely have to do with two
    effects. 
    1) In the current dsts deltaSlat==0 (pointed and found slat has to agree)
    have been enforced (by accident). 
    2) The low momentum tracks have large angles and the pointing is done 
    always to a fixed plane while the actual slats alternate like this
      x x x x x x x
       x x x x x x x
    What the exact effect is I have no idea....
    
    I am writing this to make the point that when we redo the datareduction we 
    should also try to fix/understand these things....
    
    Cheers
       Peter
