Schema
Illustration of the cut-sky with gamma rays distributed on it. Patches of radius R
degrees are centered on the highest energy gamma rays. In those patches we
test if the lower energy photons are distributed along left- or right-handed spirals.

Results
CP odd statistics, Qx10^-6, versus patch radius R in degrees for the 6 different energy (E1,E2) combinations. E3 is always taken to be 50 GeV. On the left are results of Tashiro's routines; on the right are consistent results obtained using Ferrer's routines.
