<div dir="auto">Hi all,</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">I will look at the HTCC signal for the region with high pion contamination.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Concerning the question of Stepan, in the plots "Data" denotes TCS/JPsi events, e+,e-,p with selection cut described on each slides. The green histogram is described in the first slide. They are data events with a pion (id 211) an electron and
a proton, treated as TCS/JPsi events</div>

<p class="x_x_MsoNormal">Dear all,</p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal">As there will not be a ee meeting next week here are few slides.</p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal">Attached are the results of the study I did this week after brainstorming with Rafo and Joseph.</p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal">The hypothesis we tested is the following: the reaction ep->ep pi+ pi- is our main background in this region. The electron and the pion are wrongly identified as our lepton pair. In this case the electron has high momentum while the
pion has low momentum, typically below 4 GeV. This matches with observation done by Joseph and I.</p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal">To test this hypothesis, I have filtered data (Inbending and outbending) to select events with electron, pi+ and proton and treated these event as TCS events. I then superimposed the shape of the spectra obtain with TCSGen and Grape
simulations and compare with data. The result can be found in the slides. </p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal">The reason why these pions are mis-identified is still unclear to me, furthermore we need to understand why the remaining pi- is undetected (most of our TCS event have no additional negative track, as I presented at the last meeting).
I will study in details the scattered angle of the missing particle to determine the latter.</p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal">Nevertheless, I believe this study show that we might finally have identified the main source of background at high Egamma.</p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal">Joseph could had some of these plots in his presentation of next week.
</p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal">Let me know what you think, I’ll be glad to implement any feedbacks</p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal">Have a good week end</p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal">Cheers</p>
