Better MonteCarlo comparisons and conclusions.

I've included 7 plots here.

Energy Loss is ON in both: MASCARAD on, and MASC off.
Strict W Cut is now included in ALL histograms except
W.ps

W.ps - is invariant mass plotted on top of one another.
       SLIGHT SHIFT... but very small. ~5 MeV.

BeamEnergy_*.ps - Reconstructed Beam Energy from electron
                  and proton, a strict W Cut is included
                  for both MASC on and off. Beam Energy
                  drops ~5 MeV when MASC is on.

Electrons_*.ps - Typical kinematic relations of ep-elastic
                 Looks bad for lowest Q^2 electrons.
                 Everything else is relatively flat. MC
                 would suggest to me to reject electrons
                 below 26 degrees.

Protons_*.ps - Same Typical kinematic relations of ep-elas
               for proton. Not good at all below 36
               degrees and above 68 degrees. Also not good
               below 320 MeV and above 900 MeV. MonteCarlo
               would suggest to me that we should neglect
               any events within those ranges, UNLESS elec
               kinematics provide the proton information.

New_BeamEnergy.pdf - For the heck of it, the actual data's
               reconstruction of the beam energy. Same
               color coding as the MC BeamEnergy postscript

I believe I should now generate some Hydrogen Monte Carlo
with NO energy loss to be sure of the results. Dependency
on the discrepancies observed in proton theta will tell us
whether energy loss should be included in
reconstruction (both p and theta dependent), or should be
inserted after (p-dependent discrepancies only).

I think:
If the former situation is the case, energy loss should be
put into Reconstruction and then kinematic corrections
should use the |MASCARAD on/E-Loss off| reconstructed Beam
Energy for the benchmark. If the latter is
true (p-dependent only), then kinematic corrections should
use the |MASCARAD on/E-Loss on| reconstructed Beam Energy
for the benchmark. Energy loss would be implicit in the
kinematic corrections and wouldn't even need implementation.

Replies are expected and more than welcome.
