For this re-analysis of the Ariel VI data, the contribution of non Z square effects to the restricted energy loss and to Cerenkov radiation in the Bristol sphere has been evaluated using the Mott cross section ratios and the non-relativistic Bloch correction. Results obtained were similar in form to those derived for HEAO3 but with maximum deviations approximately 10% rather than 15% for the Mott term, corresponding to a thinner detector. Because of the large uncertainties in the parameters involved, no relativistic Bloch term was included. In addition the experiments on the HEAO detector make the application of a correction to the Cerenkov response of doubtful justification and none was applied in this analysis. An energy dependent correction was made using an effective energy calculated from the vertical cut-off for a given event. The maximum value of this correction was about 0.6% in Z for low cut-offs, declining to approximately zero by 10 GV.
