Super cluster to electron η transformation

Here is the email from Georgios Daskalakis:
I found a script from 2003.
It needs update but I hope it will do the job for you.
Cheers,
G.

//  This script transforms SC eta 
//   by using the correct vertex

Float_t ETASCtransformation(Float_t EtaParticle , Float_t Zvertex)
{

	Float_t Theta = 0.0  ; 
        Float_t ZEcal = R_ECAL*sinh(EtaParticle)-Zvertex;

	if(ZEcal != 0.0) Theta = atan(R_ECAL/ZEcal);
	if(ZEcal == 0.0) Theta = PI/2.0;
