Hi Heiko,

Yes. The problem on the latest fit is that the Crystal Ball contribution 
is higher: 89518.
On May 11th it was 43230: the difference would cover the gap.

This difference is also present in the mES range [5.27,5.29]: for the 
Crystal ball yield we have 63467 while on May 11th we had 30650.

I thought it would have been useful if we had found a different shape in 
the ARGUS function for non-BBbar events... anwyay, the fit on data with 
only one ARGUS function for combinatoric BG  is the one on May 11th.
I'm running the fit on MC right now.

No, it doesn't....
