That sounds like a good improvement.  It'll be nice to roll that into
our analyzer.

I understood that the cluster identification depended on the
reconstructed track.  Are you saying that the track reconstruction
depends on the Shower too?  That is, how does a change to the shower
class change the number of tracks?

I believe we still need the final optics calibration completed for BB.
Is that correct?  Have you and Diana worked out who is in charge of that
part?

The trans_ps1.png plot has more hits below the 200 threshold seen in the
the d2n_ps1.png plot.  Does that make sense?
