Revision History:-
================
 
5.00    H.S. Wan        First version.
5.03    N. Oblath       Added banks 5-7 for proton, triton and alpha dE(E)/dX
        H.S. Wan        Added NCIB 8, 9 for de/dx of alphas in nickel and range in copper.

Description
-----------
    
   Energy deposition of charged particles in NCD counters 
   as a function of distance along the track in cm.
   (NCIB = NCd Integrated Bragg curve )

   Bank 4 is different, and therefore its data words have a 
   slightly different definition.  It is the range-energy 
   relationship for alphas, since they can have different 
   starting energies.

   As of SNOMAN 5_0280, banks 1-3 are replaced by banks 5-7.
   Banks 5-7 are dE(E)/dX for protons, tritons and alphas, respectively

Notes
-----

There are seven instances of the NCIB bank in ncd_energy_deposition.dat. 
The first three describe the energy deposition as a function of range.
Bank 1 is for protons, 2 for tritons and 3 for alphas.
Banks 1, 2 and 3 are obsolete as of SNOMAN 5_0280
Bank 4 is the range-energy relationship for alphas in nickel.
The last three describe the energy deposition as a function of energy
Bank 5 is for protons, 6 for tritons and 7 for alphas. 
Bank 8 is dedx of alphas in nickel as a function of energy. 
Bank 9 is the range-energy relationship for alphas in copper.
