Hi all,

 I reoptimized the cut on the purity (since the selection is changed and
the full dataset is available). The stat. significance as a function of
the cut on the purity (all analysis cuts applied) is in:

The optimal values now are

 - D*   ipur > 24%
 - Dc   ipur > 9%
 - D*0  ipur > 8%
 - D0   ipur > 9%

before they were

 - D*   ipur > 14%
 - Dc   ipur > 6.5%
 - D*0  ipur > 5%
 - D0   ipur > 6%

 I propose to apply these new cuts. The yields will be 15-20% lower with a
large gain in purity and in the number of selected events.

 If you agree, I will commit the new cuts.
