ECal bugs in LDC01_05Sc and LDCPrime_01Sc

Just a note for those not on the ild-detector-optimisation mailing list.

There's some kind of problem with the electronic calorimeter end cap hits in the Mokka models LDC01_05Sc and LDCPrime_01Sc. I can't say I understand it, I think it's something to do with the cells not scaling properly. Anyway, there's a different model being worked on now and it was decided not to bring out an interim fixed model. Paulo sent around instructions for fixing it yourself though:

Dear friends,

I guess that we decided to not touch the LDC01_05Sc and LDCPrime_01Sc models and to not create intermediate models. As the final model risks to take a while ;-) , here you are how to use LDC01_05Sc or LDCPrime_01Sc with the new Ecal (without the known bugs you have with the old one):

1) you have to checkout Mokka tag mokka-06-06-pre01 directly from our CVS HEAD (please follow the instructions here:
http://polzope.in2p3.fr/MOKKA/download)
2) , just add these two lines in your steering file:

/Mokka/init/EditGeometry/rmSubDetector SEcal02
/Mokka/init/EditGeometry/addSubDetector SEcal03 90

Cheers,
Paulo.
