Re: [BLAST_ANAWARE] Preliminary Cherenkov shielding analysis

Continued CC analysis after shielding... As mentioned in the earlier email,
notice the fluctuation of L1, L2 and R1 and R2. These are the EXACT SAME CUTS.

By Monday all of these should be nailed down to within 1% or 2%... But
again...
Left Sector shows clear improvement!!!!! Hopefully shielding will be put into
the right side and push everything above 90% on the right!
