[Zhiwan <zhiwanxu@physics.ucla.edu>]

Hi Xianglei and Sooraj,
 Thank you for the explanation. It is clear to me now.
 The full period for 11.5 GeV (run20) would be: 20342002-20365041, and 
21001001 - 21055017 

This run is taken from Dec - Mar. The first period contains fewer events. You 
can consider use both of the run periods.

Best,
Zhiwan
