    Let me follow up on the note below by Kris in the shift report, and clarify
    the nomenclature
    
    
    Trigger 3 (MRS) is a triple coinc on MRSfrontslat-MRS-backslats-INEL
    Trigger 6(FS) is a triple coin of Td1-h1 and Inel
    
    In this case Inel is triple coinc of L(inel) , R(inel) and the RC
    The work yesterday found some non well understodd problems in how the Inel
    trigger rates were.
    Switching modules and config resulted in well behaved system, with rates
    similar to the pp2pp, BUT
    seem to give a much more dirty signals (i.e. more background) in particular
    in the MRS front trigger
    We looked yesterday at track/triggers for a (development run) yesterday
    afternoon, and saw
    pretty back ratios.
    I looked at 10,000 events from 6302
      and reconstructed 1272 mrs tracks / 6100 trigger 3  == 1/5
                                     261 ffs tracks / 800 trigger 6     == 1/3
    This is not as bad as yesterday, but lower eff than previous runs which were
    ~ 40-50%
    
    Based on this the 8 deg 1/4A pol is complete and we should move to the zero
    field and
    B-pol.
    The 35 deg B-pol is already started (6303).
    
    The goal factors until I get another chance to look at this should be
    MRS (tr 3)  2.5 and FS (1.5)
