7.5.3 Hodoscope Cut

The CsI array, as well as the NaI-wall, was equipped with plastic scintillators at the front. This allows to cut out charged tracks. A charged particle here might have been generated by either scattered beam particles or converted photons. A cut requiring the energy deposition not to be above 0.51 MeV takes care of both sources. A multiplicative correction of 0.999 [Spu77] for suppressed electrons and positrons that originated either directly from RC and SCX or pair conversion of photons was applied for the final calculation of the Panofsky rate.
