    Hello.  Continuing slewing for global vertex counters, I finished ZDC 
    slewing.
    
     From AuAu run, the typical resolution of ZDC vertex was about 3cm.  Due 
    to the hardware change in ZDC (PMTs and TDC (camac --> FastBus) ), the 
    old slewing does not work well (or at all???) for dAu run.  The vertex 
    resolution from the current BRAT is about 6.5cm.  This is shown in 
    http://pii3.brahms.bnl.gov/~hito/zdc/zdcvertex_resolution_noslew_noycut.gif
    
    After slewing, it become about 3.4 cm. And, it is consistent with AuAu 
    run. This is shown in

    For skeptical forks (very small statistics in the previous figure), the 
    next figure is made without a cut in y for track vertex to increase 
    statistics (by junk???).   Anyhow, you can see that the resolution is 
    still about 3.7 cm.  The figure is located at
