Hi, Peter,

Brendan and I now think that we understand what's going on here.  If you
have a look at the current trend plot (sample attached), you will see a
new set of data points just above the green muSC-muPC1 line.   The three
top curves are then:

Red: muSC (muSC PP)
Medium blue: muSC (muSC-muPC1 PP)   ** new point **
Green: muSC-muPC1 (muSC-muPC1 PP)

Events are lost by the added pileup protection of the muPC, not by a large 
inefficiency.   As the beam rate increases, this effect becomes larger.
Also, as the high voltage is increased, the muPC becomes more sensitive to
electrons, so more events are lost to pileup protection.
