Dear Paul,
very nice results, but I have a couple of questions to the simulations.
what are you using on the resolutions for the gammas and threshold
detecting gammas in the FCal and BCal. I guess you have seen the nice
report by Matt and Mihajlo
http://www.jlab.org/Hall-D/guest_secure/Calo_Review_Feb08/Pre-Brief%20Materials/simulation.pdf
They did a lot of studies on neutrals like the eta and pi0.
Actually did you find some time to look in the report?
cheers elke
