    Dear J.H. Lee
    The centrality dependence analysis for DCs has yet not been done
    so I can not answer most of your question right now.
    The track reconstruction efficiencies for the latest runs at 12 deg. for DCs
    are T3: 70% T4:92% and T5: 70% (only 2 modules for T5 are used). Is is for the
    trigger #6 events. The efficiencies per plane in T4 and T5 are about 90%. This
    value is not
    corrected for a dead channels.
    Lets us continue this discussion tomorrow.
    Pawel.
