Monte-Carlo configuration

• Single photon in the EEMC (flat in eta, pt, phi)
• Narrow vertex distribution with sigma=1cm
• 10 muons thrown in Barrel (|eta|<0.5) to reconstruct vertex
• 3 muons thrown in each BBC (|eta|~4) to fire the trigger
• Run 6 L2e-gamma-trigger id = 137641
• STAR geometry tag: y2006h
• Photon cuts:
  1.1 < eta < 1.95
  3 < pt < 15 GeV
  0 < phi < 2pi
