[phenixbb] anomalous signal

[Tim Gruene]

Hi Matteo,

you are right, the absolute value contains the contribution from all
absorbing elements. The edge can be determined reliably, though, because
it is not shifted with respect to the energy (by this effect), only with
respect to the amplitude.

Best,
Tim
