To do list from last meeting

• Next Steps:

1. look at the a2 mass peak - adjust cuts on the eta and pi0 masses
2. introduce Pythia background - skim off the wanted events by cutting on the total neutral energy (but we need to record the total number of events before skimming) - hd_filter is a good program example
3. cut on eta and pi0 masses, then look at the effect on the different angular distributions (i.e. Gottfried-Jackson angles, etc.)
4. look at difference between reconstructed and generated z position for less than 65 cm
5. look at single photon reconstruction efficiencies
6. adjust the error matrix for the BCAL (look in PID/DPhoton_factory.cc)
