All data with field on, part of shift devoted to compton and Wch.

_ Max current 40 mA. Since lifetime still good (10 min), I increased
  gas flow to 2.0 sccm (lifetime ca 5-6 min)

_ analysis of L-R R-L data shows that most of the asymmetry actually went
  away when the CFD threshold was lowered to 20 mV. However, R4 and L5
  paddles are likely to be still inefficient.

_ Took singles data (backward protons) to check on front paddles. Analysis
  in progress, the inefficiency seems very high. More to do on this weekend
  Will try both a normal and a low threshold.
 
_ Wch cards overheat with magnet on. Wch can not operate.

_ We need a lot more data with field on, low CFD thresholds, 2.0 sccm
   (trigger any_coincs_lowt) in order to study L/R more in detail and Q2
  dependence. Compare to MC results forwarded (next email)

_ To all shift people. There is a runplan and a logbook in the counting
  bay. Please read all of it. Tomorrow I'll be available by nextel (?)
