Issues related to DVCS photon and proton reco

DVCS ep events (with crossing angle after-burner applied) has been passed thru full ATHENA simulations. Two observations:

  1. DVCS real photon reconstruction is missing eta>0, comparing to MC distribution.
  2. DVCS scattered proton, REC eta distribution shifts to high eta comparing to MC distribution
