Thank you. I find your explanation enlightening and interesting. I haven't spoken with him in some years, and I won't mention names, but a good friend worked

Thank you. I find your explanation enlightening and interesting. I haven't spoken with him in some years, and I won't mention names, but a good friend worked on calibration of the CMS detectors (scintillation). The last time I did speak with him, that was a very interesting 2 or 3 hours. Although I don't recall us discussing the data processing aspects in any depth; my limited impression of those I mostly gained from random articles and whatnot. P.S. I guess I'd bettter RTFA, now. ;-)
