Hi Takashi,
Thanks for the plots. I agree that the acceptance is sensitive to the Ecal geometry.
However I can conclude from your exercise that the energy distribution is very similar to our data: you have peak near the E=Ebeam/2 what I suspected. As you remember the MC distribution is very different that moves me to the conclusion that we have problems with MC. I suspect that with any reasonable geometry we will not get sharp dip in the electron energy distribution. Never.
Regards,
Valery
