Effect of added layers in Jason geometry file (ecalgeo.g23)

Monte-Carlo setup:

• One photon per event
• EEMC only geometry with LOW_EM option
• Throw particles flat in eta (1.08, 2.0), phi (0, 2pi), and pt (6-10 GeV)
• Using A2Emaker to get reconstructed Tower/SMD energy
  (no EEMC SlowSimulator in chain)
• Vertex z=0
• ~50K/per particle type
• Non-zero energy: 3 sigma above pedestal

Added layer definition from Jason file:

• EXPS is the plastic spacer in the shower maximum section
• EBLS is the layer of material on the back (routing layers) of the SMD planes
• EFLS is the layer of material on the front (G10, etc) of the SMD planes

Geometry configurations and notations (shown in the center of the plot):

1. j-noLayers: Jason geometry: no EXPS, EBLS, EFLS
2. j-back: Jason geometry, EBLS only
3. j-front: Jason geometry, EFLS only
4. j-spacer: Jason geometry, EXPS only
5. j-all: Jason geometry, all new layers included
6. geom-cvs geometry file from CVS after cAir bug fixed
