[Olympus] Acceptance Simulations

Hi Michael,
	I'm attaching the plot of the acceptance double ratio with all four configurations as was initially proposed.  One can see that even with gaps in the ToFs, the ratio remains very close to 1.  

	I have done some studies with different magnetic field strengths (all with positive polarity).  None of the results were so different than those at 5000 A, so I did not find them so intriguing.  

Cheers,
Axel
