Re: More on BCAL energy deposition

[Alex Dzierba <dzierba@indiana.edu>]

Hi Beni

Thanks for your observation and I should of course take the effect into
account - I will.  But - it will make things worse because now I consistently
underestimate the deposition in layer 1 and overestimate in layer 2
(assuming the simulations are correct) and this will be even more the
case when I properly distribute the start of the shower into the calorimeter.

Cheers
Alex
