[Ifeffit] question concerning Hephaestus

[Carlo Segre]

Hi Irmi:

The calculation gives the fraction of the incident photons (in percentage) 
which are _absorbed_ in the ionization chamber.  The length of the 
chamber, the gas mixture and the incident energy are the parameters you 
have to put in to the calculation.
