sPHENIX EMCal discussion

["Huang, Jin" <jhuang AT bnl.gov>]

Hi, Martin and all

Thanks! This flag is very convenient. This switch is incorporated into a 
not-yet-merged prototype3 production code: 
https://github.com/blackcathj/coresoftware/commit/3236ced2bc2c604a94ab94cd8f3fa9a1daa9259a
 

Now I will also appreciate if someone could point to me the new HBD channel 
map for high-eta EMCal, which will put here:
https://github.com/blackcathj/coresoftware/commit/3236ced2bc2c604a94ab94cd8f3fa9a1daa9259a#diff-4943c7156628a48058c793384d2269b3
 

Cheers,

Jin
