Hi Daniele,

thanks for helping.

Where can I find them? I would like to compare them.

So far we hope so. As long as we only use the events tree in the reduced
ntuples we should be able to look at brecoflav to see whether there was a
Breco or not and if there was none, we should not use any variables
containing information about the decay mode of the Breco and so on. At
least this is our hope.

Yes we are using the HEAD version of VubAnalysis. And these are all the
options we use:
../bin/Linux24/anaQA -mc -pk -SN -r 1234 -C o00 -d 4 -D
/scratch/users/tackmann/hbooks/allsignconc/tests -c
chains/signal/testchain

where I copied the o00 file from urs
(~ursl/macros/fsx/vub/VubAnalysis/o00)
and testchain just contains this one file.

First we modified IbuIsl.tcl such that all events got written out (also
events without BReco candidate). Since we found the inconsistencies with
your files (s.a.) we tried to write out only the events having a Breco
candidate to make sure that our change in IbuIsl.tcl did not cause the
differences. We still saw the inconsistencies (and the same numbers as
before, which i guess means that events without Breco candidate do not
get a pcms>0 and no entries for mode(Ch)B(0)).

I hope my answer makes sense,
