I just changed the 'variation=mc' CCDB constants for the ADC_gains
table from 1e-04 to 3.096e-05. Now, a simulated 1 GeV photon at 90
degrees will appear as a 1 GeV cluster energy. At 5 GeV photon at 15
degrees shows up as around 5.04 GeV at the moment, but it's looking
pretty close, anyway. There was a period of time between when I checked
in revision 19023 and about 11:30 this morning where people running the
newest revision would have had simulated hits in the BCAL returning
strange energies. Sorry if that affected anybody!
