Please check the output > of the log file. BUT I check the code with Kerstin against her numbers. Are these the numbers that are computed automatically: B0bar -> Xu+ l- nubar + CC = 1.03533 B- -> Xu0 l- nubar + CC = 1.0335 ? I got these numbers from my logfile for Run1+2. These are actually different from the numbers I see in the wfermifile for Run1+2 (those are smaller than 1). Are you saying they should be the same? Kerstin
