Hi Daniele, this is not what shown in our Vub conf papers where the purity of the mes plots is by eye almost a factor 2 worse than BAD976. Do you agree? ciao ric ______________________________________________________ Riccardo Faccini BaBar Physics Analysis Coordinator SLAC | Universita' "La Sapienza" & I.N.F.N.
