    In the interest of keeping this discussion going, here is a very brief
    update on 22GeV dNdEta from TPM1. All this is still _very_ preliminary.
    
    I've looked at the different responses of the global detectors using what
    calibrations I have (for run 4640, mostly), and the only one that looks
    more or less reasonable at first glance is the Si array hits:
    
    http://folk.uio.no/bjornhs/brahms/22GeV/SiArrayHits_22GeV.ps
    
    I use this response "blindly" to select "most central" events - if this is
    a very bad thing to do I'd appreciate some feedback.
    
    Again using the geant BB response (assuming 100% tube efficiency) to
    normalize the number of events, but now doing a much better job of the
    background subtraction:
    
    http://folk.uio.no/bjornhs/brahms/22GeV/dvf_z_fit.ps
    
    ...I get the following:
    
    dNdEta (eta=0) = 313
    
    Getting closer. There are still some parts of the TPC-specific code that I
    need to look into more closely, but I'd very much like to hear from
    Steve/Hiro on the Si response - is this curve usable the way I'm doing -
    i.e. just using the 200GeV calib blindly?
    
    Ping :-)
