- MC resulted in pi0 peak at about 90 MeV when new non-linear corrections were applied. This was due to the fat that the original non-linear correction included a scale factor in addition to an energy dependent correction.
- Fix to MC includes introduction of a scale factor (~1.3) and new parameterization.
- Non-linear parameterization for MC uses only an exponential. This is included in the program by adding a parameter for the transition between linear and exponential functions (set to 0 for MC, set to 1.5 GeV for data)
