 1) QA - Daniel got an example macro from Gene.
              Needs to switch off the SVT from vertex det (old), keep SSD.

Phi vs pT - Run 12 - 500GeV/200GeV

The following plots depict track phi versus track pT , for pT<30 GeV (Figure1) and for 30GeV<pT<50GeV (Figure2), both East and West regions of the TPC combine
