Hi Oliver,
I will check better tomorrow, but my recollection is that the resolution
on the signal improved (our signal) while there was a broadening of the
distribution for the background which we pretty much liked. I think it is
due to the fact that we are throughing away almost all Kls, which is good
for our signal, but not for yours. As attempt you can try and remove the
cuts that are against Kl (LAT and S9S25) and see if you recover the
resolution you want.
ciao
ric
