The analysis has an efficiency for detecting real strangelets (or comparable
particles) which is less than unity because the shower due to the strangelet
may be overlapped by other showers. A Monte Carlo study of 15 GeV/ 
strangelets overlayed on events with full central collisions shows that the
analysis described above has an efficiency of 42% for identifying strangelet
energy deposits.
The study also shows that the calculated energy deposit, as might be expected from the limitation to towers within 19.5 cm of the hit location, is about 2/3 of the true energy deposit.
