Hi Daniele, I would consider applying PID killing at the root level, at least until a new crucial problem in MC is found. Of course we need to fix the tags and get a correct set, in case we really need to rerun. What are the objections to this approach? ciao ric On Wed, 28 Aug 2002, Daniele del Re wrote: > > > Hi all, > > the disagreement I showed in the last comparison data-MC in many plots > (in p* spectra and mx) is due to a wrong PID killing applied at Beta > level.
