+The following documentation created on 11-03-2025
+
+The default values of pressure and temperature of the RICH gases updated in Feb-2025 in Detecotor MR!682. This updated are made such that
+the new values are same as those in the lhcb-conditions-database in the sim10/run3-ideal branch, for these gases as of Feb-2025.
+This facilitates the usage of the same values for simulation in Gauss and reconstruction in Moore.
+
+The new values are listed below for reference:
+"C4F10Pressure" value="0.96549918675473*bar"
+"C4F10Temperature" value="295.0083728641*kelvin"
+"CF4Pressure" value="0.96470168675473*bar"
+"CF4Temperature" value="294.03354768216*kelvin"
+
+These updates are made in ../Materials/trunk/RichRun3PropertySpecParam.xml.
+
+More details of this topic can be found in https://gitlab.cern.ch/lhcb/Detector/-/issues/73

-  The following modif is to be compatible with cdf paramtrization.
-  May2010- The sellmeir for CF4 is at the reference pressure of 1013 mbar and 293 K .

-   So the label for density is adjusted to reflect this.
-
-  In the above the parameter GasRhoCF4atSTP is kept for backward compatibility, although the
