                                        Please look into slide 11, the
                                        sharp fall of the trigger is
                                        below P < 1 GeV.<br>
                                        <br>
                                        This is not exactly the same
                                        this trigger, but difference is
                                        minor, i.e. DC segments are
                                        added, then dc roads, and<br>
                                        because of it some time
                                        constants were shifted. This
                                        gives good confidence that the
                                        current trigger is also
                                        efficient (99%+) above 1 GeV,<br>
                                        however, if you would like
                                        exactly this trigger to be
                                        validated 1ith ESum > 150
                                        MeV, we can take another random
                                        run (about 2 hours g/ good

                                                          when the

                                                          150 MeV. My
                                                          understanding

                                                          not have this

                                                          to answer this

                                                          </div>
                                                          <div>What I
                                                          have in mind
                                                          is the
                                                          following: I
                                                          agree that the
                                                          bulk of the
                                                          RG-K data
                                                          taking can
                                                          take place at
                                                          300 MeV ECal
                                                          trigger
                                                          threshold and
                                                          highest
                                                          possible
                                                          luminosity,
                                                          but I would
                                                          like to
                                                          consider the
                                                          possibility to
                                                          take a few
                                                          days at a
                                                          lower trigger

                                                          cross section
                                                          measurement 
                                                          to higher W.
                                                          Again my
