Re: blastmc Wire Chamber thresholds

Hello Sean,

        As you say, the monte carlo for the chambers fires on
any charged particle which passes through it. Even if you set
energy loss to zero the chambers will fire. This could be changed
in wc_hits.f - require that DE > threshold, but that is not the
way it presently works. Would wire chamber people like to adress
this?
