[Primexd] [Revised Logentry] Accidentals in tagger, Be target

[gasparan at jlab.org]

  Hi All,

 When I stated that we better to look the time occupancy plot
 from our physics trigger I meant process of identification of the
 energy bin in the tagger for that particular event. As much as I
 understand this is the simplified way of saying that. The PS may
 have the similar occupancy but we will use the trigger timing and
 look for the tagger ID number.
 Another words, PS will define the INTEGRAL spectrum of the photon
 beam on target, that we need but, event by event analysis is different.
