Depending on the mass/width/decay mode you are looking at, it may or may not be an issue. Until October 1, the easiest way was to request mc with a somewhat modified decay file. Now, the easiest thing is likely to get some sp8 and look at reweighting. david Kerstin Tackmann wrote: > *** Discussion title: Event Generators > Email replies to [log in to unmask] must include: > In-Reply-To: <"/event_gen/498/2/4"@babar-hn.slac.stanford.edu> > Subject: ...change this to be about your reply. > > Hi David, > > does this affect only the D_0^*0, or also the D_0^*+? > Does it affect the other D**? > > Our analysis uses SP5 and SP6 - what is our best option > to get the correct lineshape for the D**? > Reweighting probably can at most do part of what we > want because I remember the maximum allowed deviation from > mean mass is too big for some D** in SP5. > > Thanks, > Kerstin > >> Hi Liaoyuan >> >> I guess you mean 'between sp6 and sp8' below.
