[d2n-analysis-talk] New version of Status Report

[Brad Sawatzky]

Hi Diana,

Figure 9 caption, last sentence.  I would change the last bit to simply:
  ... shows makes use of the correction described by Equation 9.

Figure 12 caption.  (suggestion)
  The red line at 45deg highlights the ideal condition in which the
  reconstructed momentum and energy are equal.

P.9 second para, 2nd sentence:
  With the exception of PMTs 1 and 8, which are on the upper and lower
  edge of the acceptance, ...

P.9 second para, 3rd sentence:
  ... real [what does "real" mean here?]  three-photoelectron cut drop
  to as low as 50% for PMTs at the top and bottom of the acceptance on
  the high-rate, small-angle side.

P.9 second para, 4th sentence:
  ... real [what does "real" mean here?]  three-photoelectron cut ...

P.11 Figure 18 caption:  (suggestion)
  PMTs .... (at the bottom of the detector stack) were not included in
  the calculation because they predominantly outside our acceptance.


Pretty minor stuff.  Looks good!
