Hi Antonio, maybe this is not too surprising after all since the first bin contains the largest fraction of the signal. Now, that I'm thinking of it: there is a fit function which would avoid the problem of becoming negative, but which would nevertheless give probably a reasonable fit to the correction factors: a Gaussian.
