Today I arrived at Quarknet at 3:50 and went back to work with the Excel plots. My first idea was going off of the previous work that I did with the phi plot, and I decided to make another plot of phi2, as I noticed that there was a much greater amount of events on -1.57 than on 1.57, so I wondered if phi2 would reflect the opposite of that. Here is what I found. Clearly, both of these plots are reflections of each other in the pattern of events. I don't know if this is significant, as it is just an observation.

Looking at Grace's new plot of Eta, we have found similar results of a possible range of cosmic rays being the first 1055 events when sorted by E/M. After a value of 1055 event numbers, the data scatters from the normal range of around .2 - -.2 eta.

Next, I chose to graph phi1+phi2 on one axis, and E/M on another axis. With this data, I would presume that a cluster should exist at an E/M value of 1, and a phi1+phi2 value of 0. Here is the graph that I found. This is a rather confusing plot that did not go as expected. On the x axis, there is an obvious cut at 1, which is what was expected, with E/M at 1. However, the phi1+phi2 values on the y axis have a huge variation that should not be as large as it is. I would have expected a central gathering at 0, and instead I found this huge variation of phi values that strays from 2.5- -2.5. I will have to look into this and see if there is a problem, but I already checked the parameters, and they appear to be correct.
