Hi Heiko,
Here is a short summary. Antonio fitted the MC background sample (Breco
with wrong Breco reconstruction) seperately for neutrals and charged Bs.
See http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~petrella/mesfits/mesfits.html, second
set of plots from 06 - Apr - 2006.
Both fits converge but show the same behaviour as the fit to the full set
(first plot in frist set of plots from 06 - Apr - 2006. The peak region is
not fitted vey well. Here are the chi2 for all three fits:
full sample: 2.7769
neutral Bs: 3.2169
charged Bs: 2.48632
You can see an improvement in the charged Bs compareed to the full sample,
but at the same time the chi2 for the neutral Bs worsen.
Antonio and I concluded that this does not help us to improve the fit
around the peak and we didn't do any further studies or fits. So we drop
this option.
Heiko, this is the opposite conclusion as yours. Can you tell me why you
think the fit i improved?
Cheers,
Wolfgang
