[Olympus] ToF rates from Monte Carlo

[Norair Akopov]

Dear Michael,

I would say the agreement for the relation between the rates for 
various charge*polarity cases we've extracted from data and Axel 
reproduced with MC is quite good. This is clear indication on reasonable 
combination of ADC/TDC cuts and coplanarity condition, as well the 
background subtraction procedure we used for this analysis to select the 
elastic events.

Best regards,

Norik

I've written up the results, which I will attach, and also post to the wiki.  Please let me know if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions.  We can discuss any ideas at this week's Monday meeting.
