I reproduced the plot, overlapping the wdeltam distributions for R18 and R14, SL cuts on Run3 generic MC: you can find it in http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~sacco/plots/wdeltam.gif where the crosses are R18. They look quite similar, although there are discrepancies near zero. The number of rejected events with a cut at -3 is 32.1% for R18 and 30.1% for R14. All the best, Roberto
