[g13] theta-phi distributions

  Hi Slava,

If you require only single tracks, your distributions are very sensitive 
to the trigger (TOF and ST) and reconstruction (DC, etc) efficiencies in 
various parts of the detector. When you require more than one track, 
this to some extent gets "averaged out". It would be very interesting if 
you were able to normalize these distributions between sectors and 
determine if you see an excess or an inefficiency.

A small caveat is that with linearly polarized photons you do not expect 
symmetric phi distributions. The fact that you mix PERP, PARA, and AMO, 
and that you don't see this in other sectors suggests that physics may 
be a minor effect, but at least it may be worth checking.

Cheers,

     Pawel
