Hi Urs,
I would say that you tests show clearly a correlation between low mm2 and
fake events at 1.6 GeV, and this is interesting.
I checked that you reproduce the same results as daniele for the default
scan (mm2>-1000, prmm2>-3) and you actually agree on the neutral Bs,

http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~rfaccini/phys/vub/mm2_min/mm2_danb0.datmxCutdiff.eps
but not on the charged Bs

http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~rfaccini/phys/vub/mm2_min/mm2_danbch.datmxCutdiff.eps
but I am afraid daniele is still using the problematic B+.
As an addition to your information,
in http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~rfaccini/phys/vub/mm2_min/
I produce the scans for the lower cut on mm2 at mx<1.55 from your dat
files (this is why I was looking at them).

I have a few comments on your and these plots:
- I am missing why you say that there is stability on the first table at
mm2=-0.3 for the B0 if at -0.3 the measurement is 144 and at -0.1 is 99
!!!
- I would in general say that cutting at much more than -0.5 does not make
much sense because you fall in the middle of the resolution (same argument we
apply on the high side). From the scans I am sending you I would say
that B0 show a sort of plateu at -0.5, and that the point at -0.1
is an ecception. I would therefore put out on the table the point at -0.3
(or at 0.5, but the significance is the same).
- I think it should be stressed in your page that the statistical power of
the measurement changes a lot, since the relative error goes from 12% of
the default analysis to the 15% of the final one, although accidentally
(?) the error stays the same [I am trying to find something that could
cause this systematically, but I can't]. This said of course we would
all be happy to loose stat power to cure a systematics.
I will keep looking into the low mm2 events on my prmm2>-3 events and
their correlation with low purity modes.
