[Olympus] Acceptance Simulations

[Jan C. Bernauer]

Dear Norik,


  as you know, we had to repair several ToFs after the last run. Their 
reduction in efficiency was certainly in that order of magnitude, if not 
larger, so I would say this test is very reasonable.

If we see a large dependence of these tests on the magnetic field, we 
should consider running with two or three field settings. This may then 
allow us to tune the simulation later on.

We should all think about measurements we can do to have enough 
redundant information to understand our detector and tune or simulation.

Best,
Jan
