Hi I find three different topologies of events with tha same Mes value: 1) the case with nB0==0 and consecutive events. same mes value but different values for other variables TFile f2("/nfs/farm/babar/AWG18/ISL/sx-080702/newgenbb/B0/2001/unskgenb0-2001-new2001-1036.root") h1->Scan("mseB0:nB0:lowerID:primVtxX:primVtxY","mseB0>5.2221168&&mseB0<5.2221170") ************************************************************************ * Row * mseB0 * nB0 * lowerID * primVtxX * primVtxY * ************************************************************************ * 2279 * 5.2221169 * 1 * -1.28e+09 * 0.0859066 * 0.3366443 * * 2280 * 5.2221169 * 0 * -1.28e+09 * 0.0976630 * 0.3395716 * * 2281 * 5.2221169 * 0 * -1.28e+09 * 0.1123376 * 0.3270976 * ************************************************************************ 2) the case with nB0==1 and not consecutive events. also in this case same mes but differents values for other variables TFile f2("/nfs/farm/babar/AWG18/ISL/sx-080702/newgenbb/B0/2001/unskgenb0-2001-new2001-1036.root") h1->Scan("mseB0:nB0:lowerID:primVtxX:primVtxY","mseB0>5.2220712&&mseB0<5.2221&&nB0==1") ************************************************************************ * Row * mseB0 * nB0 * lowerID * primVtxX * primVtxY * ************************************************************************ * 82 * 5.2220983 * 1 * 2.133e+09 * 0.0703760 * 0.3292633 * * 995 * 5.2220983 * 1 * -1.94e+09 * 0.1155018 * 0.3324499 * ************************************************************************ 3) the case with real duplicated events( but I can find them only in continuum ccbar) TFile f1("/nfs/farm/babar/AWG8/ISL/sx-071802/gencc/output/outputdir/gencc-2000-old2000-1.root") h1->Scan("mseB0:nB0:lowerID:primVtxX:primVtxY","mseB0>5.23132&&mseB0<5.23136") ************************************************************************ * Row * mseB0 * nB0 * lowerID * primVtxX * primVtxY * ************************************************************************ * 373 * 5.2313356 * 1 * 933944660 * 0.1179052 * 0.3384617 * * 374 * 5.2313356 * 0 * 933847757 * 0.1138248 * 0.3475763 * * 375 * 5.2313356 * 0 * 933962993 * 0.1176636 * 0.3080920 * * 417 * 5.2313356 * 1 * 933944660 * 0.1179052 * 0.3384617 * ************************************************************************ fabio
