Rich pointed out that a number of these hits were near the ends of tanks, where
a small error in the position can make for a big error in energy.

I agree with his suggestion for a tdcz vs adcz cut. He also likes the ideas
of:
a) lop of the ends of the tanks (I feel this is a bit drastic)
b) use adcz to get energy (I feel this is a bit circular)
c) if an event is near the end of a tank, use the other end's energy
values (this seems ok)

So, what do you all think? (Rich, let me know if I'm misrepresenting anything
here, my brain is jet lagged out at the momen
