[Halld-physics] [EXTERNAL] polarization orientations

[Mark Ito]

I have never liked the PARA and PERP designations appearing in 
communications outside the Collaboration. It is jargon IMHO. PARA to 
what? PERP to what? Why ALL CAPS? Why not PARALLEL and PENDICULAR?

I think 0/90 and -45/45 tell the whole story in a way that is 
jargon-free or nearly so.
