[Frost] One more thing on tagger sag

Sungkyun,

For g1c, the local minima for the tagger sag correction happened at 
roughly 0.42 E_e and 0.74 E_e (where E_e = 3.115 GeV). This would 
correspond to local minima being at about 0.69 GeV and 1.21 GeV for your 
data (E_e = 1.645 GeV). Your binning in photon energy is not as fine as 
what we have used in the past, but it looks like you have local minima at 
about 1.25 GeV, and there is not enough bins or statistics to see if there 
is a local minima at ~0.7 GeV. Is it possible for you to increase the 
statistics and bin finer in photon energy?

When I did the g8b photon energy correction, I had to use the entire 
amorphous set to get the needed statistics.

Another thing to consider:
It might be best to use data from the 2.478 GeV set. This will give 
you a wider range of the tagger when using the reaction gamma p -> p pi+ 
pi-. Also, your momentum corrections will have a better range of validity 
if you use the 2.478 GeV data set.
