keyword=target energy loss correction
Kelley and I started looking at total_eloss.f. Found a handful of errors, some of them major. The code was well organized but lacked comments and was obviously never thoroughly tested. Liquid target eloss calculations were disabled, so all eloss calculations were made with code intended for solid targets. That probably would have been okay but the solid target incident eloss calculation used the full target thickness rather than the half thickness. As a result the incident electron energy loss should have been overestimated by roughly .5 and 1.5 MeV for 4 and 12 cm cell lengths, respectively. (Of course we use 4.5 cm cells in Fpi.) We still have to check some window thicknesses and compile and run the corrected version.
