<br>
The last plot was for pion lab-momentum and lab-angles and the<br>
center-of-mass angle definitions were also messed up :(<br>
<br>
I have a new plot at<br>
<br>

<br>
The above plot shows that the momentum values below 400 MeV ARE important<br>
for MANY kinematic bins.<br>
<br>
However, even with the knowledge that we would be killing a bunch of bins,<br>
we may have to remove events with momentum below 400 MeV due to our<br>
possible inability to reconstruct the missing pi0 at low momentum.<br>
<br>
Sorry about any confusion my previous plot may have caused.<br>
<br>
Take care,<br>
Michael<br>
