energy loss corrections in reconstruction

Hi Eugene, Adrian,

from the recent discussions I think it is clear that one should separately
account for energy loss and for residual kinematic corrections (which
should then be independent of the PID).
Although the size of the energy loss correction would be significantly
smaller than the size of the total kinematic corrections, it is still
significant as the energy loss piece is PID dependent while "geometry" is
not.

Have you made any progress to parametrize the (average or most probable)
momentum loss of protons and electrons as a function of reconstructed
(uncorrected) momentum (and eventually as well as a function of the angle
in case that there is additional dependency)?

Best regards

    Michael
