Hi Ric, the dependency as a function of mm2 is striking. I would say that the excess is present only for mm2<0. I added two bins mm2<-0.5 and -0.5<mm2<0. and I produced the data-mc comparison only for the "bad" multiplicity category (nchg=1, nneu>0). Here you find the plot for the B0: -0.5<mm2<0 (nchg=1, nneu>0) http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~daniele/vub/testmm2gt-05B0/comparisonnorm5mxhadfitallcuts.ps.gz mm2<-0.5 (nchg=1, nneu>0) http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~daniele/vub/testmm2lt-05B0/comparisonnorm5mxhadfitallcuts.ps.gz This last plot shows how a peak at 1.5-1.6 GeV is present on data while no event is expected on MC. Since the excess seems to be a reflection of the D peak I investigated the possibility that it could be due to an abundance of low mom kaons on MC and to the cut on kaon momentum (pK>.3 GeV) I tried to remove the cut. No significant improvement was obtained.
