[Sane-analysis] Update to wiki page on pion production

Hello Everyone,

I have updated my background ratio simulations. At the moment I am running 
simulations for all 4 beam/target configurations. The plots I was showing on 
Weds have been improved. The DIS cross section I was using was the born cross 
section.  Therefore, at low E', I was under estimating the cross section. When 
I fixed this to use the radiated cross section (internal and external) the 
asymmetry correction looks much better.

Here is the ratio using the born DIS X sec :

And with the radiated DIS x sec:

To see the difference after applying the correction compare these two plots.
The first over corrects leading to a much larger asymmetry at low x (E') and 
the second one seems to be consistently flat.

The improved simulation's correction looks much better now. Of course, these 
have much lower E' cuts than we will ultimately use in order to investigate the 
background correction. 

That is it for now.

Cheers,
Whitney Armstrong
