  Efficiency as function of PDC.
- Components of UTC_FIT acceptance as function of PDC: Codes 1-6 and 7-12.
- Shaomin's comment.
20 Oct 05: Joe's study of the effect of including target hits in the track fit for Kp2 PTOT lineshape with separate and overlaid plots. The fitted gaussian width increases from 2.553 to 2.558 MeV/c and, by my count, there are 57 (86) events for PTOT in the range 190-195 MeV/c with (without) inclusion of the target hits in the fit. (86/57 = 1.51)
