    keyword=Compton BCM (attempt formatting)

    I checked the BCM in the following Compton runs both in the French and FADC DAQ. X means it looked bad, OK means it looked good, - means run was not analyzed for that DAQ.

    According to the Compton logbook, the runs in which the BCM looks OK in the French DAQ are precisely those which are "photons only" and not "photons and electrons" or "photons + electrons + coincidences".

    So it may be something in the electron DAQ, or conceivably the electron decoding, is corrupting the BCM data.

    BCM looks OK in most of the FADC runs that have been analyzed but strange in one; many runs have not been analyzed for FADC.
