Hi all, I made a few plots of the mes distribution to check if the B reco signal shape is the same for vcb and vub components. This question was rised in one of the last meetings. B reco signal (same B mode in truth and reconstruction) http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~menges/Vub/mes/mes_signal.gif http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~menges/Vub/mes/mes_signal.eps http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~menges/Vub/mes/mes_signal_log.gif (log scale) http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~menges/Vub/mes/mes_signal_log.eps (log scale) B reco background (different B mode in truth and reconstruction) http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~menges/Vub/mes/mes_background.gif http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~menges/Vub/mes/mes_background.eps B reco no truth match (no truth B mode available) http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~menges/Vub/mes/mes_nomatch.gif http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~menges/Vub/mes/mes_nomatch.eps The left plot shows the all events, vcb and vub, the right plot shows vub, non-resonant and resonant vub. The conclusion is that vcb and vub components look very similar. Even the different vub components look the same. Nothing to wory about here.
