To find out you need to count events or extract yields from our data.
I assume many of you know. Take two sets of runs are analyzed (charge
and lrn): runs #100-200 have gas, and runs #300-400 have no gas

1)
root count_charge.C #100-200
root count_charge.C #300-400

will tell you much total charge you have for the two data sets

2)
root lr.C 100-200 -d 300-400

chain[0]->Draw("zwl","abs(zwl)<50") will plot to z-left distribution for
                                      runs 100-200
chain[1]->Draw("zwl","abs(zwl)<50") will plot to z-left distribution for
                                      runs 300-400
 
You can use chain[1]->Draw("zwl","abs(zwl)<50","same") to plot on top
of existing picture. You can use ohter cuts, such as Helastic_L or
Helastic_R for e- on L/R.

3)
To properly normalized the spectra you have to divide by the charge
obtained in step 1. One way to do it is to first fill two histograms

TH1F *gas = new TH1f("gas","gas",200,-50.,50.) (200 bins, +- 50 range, hname = "gas")
TH1F *empty = new TH1f("empty","empty",200,-50.,50.)

chain[0]->Draw("zwl>>gas","abs(zwl)<50")
chain[1]->Draw("zwl>>empty","abs(zwl)<50")

fill the histogram. gas->Draw() will draw histogram gas, empty->Set (tab)
will show many option (line, fill color) for histogram empty..... (RootManual)
Then

gas->Scale(1/.23423)
empty->Scale(1/.43234) will scale histos to x 1/charge determined in 1)

gas->Draw()
empty->Draw("same")

will compare the two. There are root experts around ask them.

Bottom line is that for nominal gas runs taken *after* the collimator was
installed we have the same normalized yield as for empty target runs,
although the pressure in the scattering chamber increased.
