    Hi Zhongbao
    
    I think it is very important that we try to understand the RICH in much 
    greater details since this is in principle the BRAHMS diamond:)
    
    I guess what your simulation indicates is that muons will show up as 
    pions in the RICH if they decay after D4 because the muon momentum is 
    lower than the pion momentum. 
    
    My suggestion would be to formulate clearly what you want to learn by your 
    study first. Then I would continue what you have already done by finding 
    out what fraction of muons decays between D4 and RICH 
    as a function of momentum i.e. how significant is this. If it is 
    significant then you have to define a pion PID cut and see what fraction 
    we identify. To learn more you probably have to make some simple 
    digitization ala BrGeantToTpcTrackCandidate and some Rich digitization, 
    where you might get some code from Djamel who started writing BrDigC1 at 
    some point. Then you can study what happens if it decays before D3, 
    D2...., and you can see if the tracks are matched in the global tracking 
    and if the ring is found by the RICH algorithm (the pointing of the 
    muon and pion might be off) and maybe learn something about the RICH 
    algorithm eff in general (for single and multi tracks).
    
    Just some suggestions
       Peter
