    Hi all.
    
    Some time back Eun-Joo made some decay/multiple scattering/absorption
    corrections that have been really useful in our analyses. However, since
    then we've added some trigger slats in front of each spectrometer arm
    that will also have an effect on our observed particle distributions.
    
    As an add-on to Eun-Joos resutls, I've made a separate analysis checking
    only the effects of TD1 and TMrsF. The contributions should factorize, so
    if you want to do physics with the 2003 data or 2001 pp data, you can
    multiply her results with mine. MrsT0 has not been explicitly studied, but
    since that detector is just TMrsF cut into smaller pieces the effect
    should be the same as for the latter.
    
    The analysis, with plots and results, is summarized here:
    http://www4.rcf.bnl.gov/~bjornhs/slatcorr/
    It will be added to somewhat over the next couple of days, but the main
    results are there.
    
    Please have a look if you're working with any of our dAu or pp datasets,
    and of course please let me know if you spot any mistakes ;-)
    
    Ping :-)
