    Greetings,<br>
    <br>
    I am wondering where we are at with the flux issue?<br>
    Meaning, what is going on with the flux in the 3.5 GeV region?<br>
    <br>
    I feel that the flux is in error for a few reasons. <br>
    First when I bin flux in 15 MeV, I see 0 flux at 3.515 - 3.53.<br>
    Second, when I bin flux in 50 MeV binning I see a drop in flux at
    3.5 MeV<br>
    Here is the output<br>
    //<br>
    3.45 3.5 1.06825209003e+12<br>
    3.5 3.55 470202243457.0<br>
    3.55 3.6 1.69234003548e+12<br>
    //<br>
    <br>
    Third reason is that if you look at my attached pdf, I show the pi0
    cross section for various energies, if you were to go to compare the
    cross sections around 3.5 GeV to the neighboring Egamma bins, you
    will notice a sizable discrepancy. See G12_XSection_ALL.pdf<br>
    <br>
    Fourth reason, if I were to compare the pi0 cross section in unit of
    dsigma/dt and compare it other experiments at 4 and 5 GeV, our cross
    section is off by a factor of 2, see t_vs_dsigdt_Compare.pdf<br>
    <br>
    In order for any g12 papers to be published, we need verification of
    cross sections, which as of this moment I do not believe we have.<br>

        <div>Just imagine, You energy bin is 3.000-3.015 GeV. E-bin
          let's say covers 3.0121-3.0181 GeV. The center of E-bin will
          be 3.01505 GeV. When you enter this into the histogram it will
          fall to 3.015-3.030 bin then. However, this E-bin &nbsp;should be
          split between two adjacent bins in new binning scheme. There
          are two possible ways of doing this. Either randomize energy
          within the width of the E-bin before you enter it to th
          ehistogram, or split it between adjacent bins using weight
          which depends on how the bin boundary splits E-bin and have
          two entries to the histogram with sum of the weights equal
          one. You can imagine, if the bin width is chosen to be less
          than the widths of E-bin, then you will get completely empty
          bins in resulting histogram.<br>
