I think that to find a correlation between the AF and the dilution it is
best to use a chi squared minimization that is used in show_ep_asym2.C
Right now we are trying to see this correlation by looking at the
asymmetry in the lowest Q^2 point. This is not as sensative let alone
it has large error bar. The reson why TB cannot make any conclusion
about the AF dependence is due to large error bars. If we use full
acceptance (24-50) we reduce the error bar in the dilution. I'm working
on calculating the error bar for the dilution from knowing the chi square.
