Notes for Table 1.5:
1. This calibration applies to the M, M', F, and F' detectors.
2. Energy is as deposited in the subject detector (rather than incident).
3. These channels are formed by the HISCALE data system by time-sharing the pulse height analyzer. Anti-coincidence is used to identify these as stopped particles.
