Ok.  JH pointed out to me that the option is IHPR2 not IHNT2.  I run 
hijing with non-single diffractive option.  Now, it produces dn/deta 
=2.5 at eta =0. This is right number.  Using this HIJING pp in our BRAG 
(GEANT), INEL counter efficiency is now 85%.  So, as a summary, this is 
my result.

INEL efficency
72% in total inelastic cross section
85% in non-single diffractive cross section
