Important Changes in the Histogram

Changes in cross talk levels will have an effect on these histograms. Also an increase in the magnitude of the magnetic field will cause tighter helix tracks of the outgoing positrons resulting in a greater number of wires hits per event. Alternately a decrease in magnetic field will give fewer wire hits per event. Finally changes to the gas degrader and incoming muon momentum will influence the frequency of particles traveling in the downstream half of the detector.
