Hi Radek,

The events with richRadius corresponds to events without RichRdo data. This can happen when all the adc 
values are below te thresholds. This do happen in simulations too, and is probably cause by interactions between T5 and
going into the rich.
So this do infact corresponds to NoHits and an effeciency. in order .4% for pions. There is in fact no way in the data
to distinguish between a pion interaction say after H2 or a proton. SO I would say the proper treatment is to include them 
as having radius 0, since they are good tracks up to and including T5, and losses and contamination has to be dealt with
offline. 
I added a diagnostic histogram in the RichPid to diagnose this

Probably we should change the dstcode to set FS.fRich.fRadius to 0 when there is no pid object, or make an empty
pid object in this case.
