Re: question about background rates in BCAL



Hi Alex,
I plan to show the dose and rate plot in the fcal talk. These plots can 
be found at
http://www.jlab.org/Hall-D/software/wiki/index.php/FCAL_Backgrounds
they were made by Matt using the monte carlo using the "beam-background" 
generator
from Richard. I believe David might have been  working on a new version 
using the
new geometry file or was planing to do so.

cheers,
Beni
