Hi Heiko, the error on S/P from MC enriched goes from 10-15% in the first mX bins to higher values, reaching 100% above 3.7 GeV or so. You can read these numbers from cells I4-I13 and K4-K13 of the spreadsheets in http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~bozzi/SoverP/SoverPFullRew.sxc in addition to consider the uncertainty on the double ratio on the depleted sample, we also need to correct the MC by the central value (1.328). Also, I would really like to see what happens by cutting the modes with pi0s in the garbage... Concezio.
