Hi Urs,
as we already discussed at the meeting there are probably two different
problems, the high momentum (un matched) SVT tracks and the theta=pi/2
problem.
I have just two warnings from past experiences with tracking:
- don't forget to look at everything in terms of pt and not just
p, it can fake a lot of low angle effects.
- forget about the chi^2 of the individual tracks, it has (or at
least, used to have) more problems than information
As far as the high mom SVT tracks I suggest to require that if pt>300MeV
we require >0 Dch hits. I have produced the corresponding root files and
will post the comparisons.
ciao
