[Eg1_run] Analysis Note update

Hello:

    Since I've been a little difficult to get in touch with lately via 
meetings, I thought I'd post a status update on the EG1 inclusive proton 
data/analysis note/paper:

    I have generated tables using Sebastian's new Models update, and a full 
analysis using these values is in progress, and should be done within 
days. In order for a final master table of all values of g_1, A_1, g_2, 
A_2, and all input values (as well as integrals) to be generated, all I'm 
waiting on is for final radiative correction values A_RC and F_RC (which I 
can input at the last minute, if needed).
    The latest .pdf analysis note version is on the web at

    Modifications requested by the review committee are nearly complete; 
please note especially the following new figures requested by the 
committee, in order of perceived importance:

    p.234  A new plot of elastic asymmetries normalized by their PbPt 
values, shown against the predicted elastic asymmetry. I think this would 
be a great plot to include in the final paper, since, in a very compact 
way, it expresses the entire PbPt analysis for all 11 data sets.

   p.241-248 The e+e- correction section has undergone significant rewrites 
after some fact checking with Nevzat; better contamination plots of 
Nevzat's have been included to replace some less accurate old ones of my 
own.

  p.293-296 The section on systematic errors for pions and e+e- has 
undergone significant improvement, with new plots, as well. (Nevzat, 
please proofread this to tell me if it's ok!)

   p.264-265  All relevant observables are plotted for 2 different data 
sets.

   p.108 Pion contamination plots before and after cuts (courtesy of 
Nevzat)

   p.128-131 New plots showing step-by-step improvements of momentum 
corrections on elastic ep events, separated by bins, have been included.


   p.103 CC segment cut plots have been regenerated with the final version 
of the cuts; these look much better than before.

   p.140 The plot showing low-theta momentum corrections for inclusive 
electrons has been replaced to show the finalized, improved corrections.


    p.83 New simple plot of z-vertex position


   WHAT REMAINS TO BE DONE:

   1) I need values of QCD models, etc. to place in the plots in the last 
chapter for comparison. (This is a big one; these are needed for the 
paper...)

   2) I was told I that the section in Ch. 1 on the OPE has some issues; I 
either need some advice on improving this, or some of it may be ommitted 
all together

   3) I need to include a list of all variables to be published and improve 
the last chapter plots (including fixing a few minor bugs in the 
systematic errors). I'm holding off on this until I have final radiative 
correction models.

That's all for now; with the last details of this document coming to a 
close, we can soon put together the paper itself...
