FNAL new Tube study

This is an early stage attempt to  measure the stability of one of the new FNAL tubes.
The pulse is ~50 ns and the window of integration is about  100 ns.

1) 26runs have no ZeroBias daq files or have no ZB event.  

2) 40 runs need more than one daq files.

Phys. Rev. C paper: "Beam energy dependent two-pion interferometry and the freeze-out eccentricity of pions in heavy ion collisions at STAR"

This the manuscript of the two-pion interferometry from the beam energy scan.  It is probably best known for the azimuthal HBT analysis.  This is the thesis work of Chris Anson.
