sPHENIX HCal discussion

[Chris Pinkenburg <pinkenburg AT bnl.gov>]

Hi folks,

I found a way to ask G4 about the actual volume occupied by 
scintillators and steel and looked at this as function of the crossing 
number. The attached plots show the result. The outer hcal does not have 
the cutout for the magnet here. As you can see it doesn't change much 
for the outer hcal but it does for the inner when you go to extremes (15 
crossings crashes the calculation of the steel).

But it is smooth and the discontinuities in our eta dependence where 
some crossings are on top of each other and then there is a jump 
shouldn't be there. But the phi dependence has some quirks caused by the 
geometry. That'll be for Monday.

Have a good weekend.

Chris
