  We made a wrapping test by using Tyvec, Al-Mylar, Milipore, Milipore plus 
  one layer of Al-Mylar, two layers of Milipore, two layers of Teflon and two
  layers of Teflon plus one layer of Al-Mylar as reflector and Cosmic Ray as
  radiation source. The white copy paper was used as reference. We took 5 
  days cosmic ray data by using copy paper as reflector to test the stabiliy
  of the set up. All of data was taken by the same crystal and PMT, coupled by
  optical grease. About 24 hour data taking is used as a period of a run.
   
  1) Set Up.(see Fig.1.)
   
  2) Results.(see Fig.2.)
  The mean value and sigma for pedestal and cosmic ray peak are obtained from
  the fitting by a Gaussian function.

  4) Suggestion 
  Summing up all information above, I would like to suggest to use one layer 
  of Milipore plus one layer of Al-Mylar or two layers of Milipore as reflector 
  in PrimEx experiment, since it can give more light, that will improve the 
  energy resolution, but it is difficult to handle, because Milipore is easy to
  split open.
