Context for the pi0 paper

Here's a few supporting plots for the "Intent to Publish" blog.

Mass Spectrum vs. Eta and Quarter.

As one attempt to look at the effect of single beam backgrounds, the diphoton mass spectrum for the entire data set is plotted in eta bins and per each quarter of the EEMC.

Updated cross section--3% higher MC trig thres

WARNING: the plots of this blog are affected by the bug reported here.

History of Simu Trig Thresholds for EEMC pi0s

This is for my own reference mainly, to try to keep track of the values I have used.  The setup files for the simu trig has the following trigger settings.
