EEMC simulation studies

Energy and pseudorapidity dependence of sampling fraction in the EEMC

Figure 1 -- Sampling fraction vs. incident energy for an electron normally incident on the EEMC.  The fit is to a 3rd degree polynomial in x=log(E).

T0 Calibration Update

July 23 Monte Carlo Clustering Jet/Gamma Breakdown

Yesterday's graphs didn't show the split between the gamma signal and the background. So, here are those new graphs. If someone needs to see more of the cuts, just let me know.
