    While I have not seen the plots, two major difference of CPP/NPP to
    all other run periods come to mind:<br>
    a) the vertex is at z=1cm<br>
    b) the physics trigger has a second component the TOF which has
    never before been implemented<br>
        and may have a complete different timing characteristics.<br>
    <br>
    it may be important to explicitly ask  for FCAL/BCAL triggers only,
    excluding the TOF trigger. This may<br>
    of course reduce the statistics significantly.<br>
    <br>

            <div class="PlainText">Hello Igal,<br>
              <br>
              I looked at the layer 3 plots, and indeed, they don't seem
              to be <br>
              converging. Even the fits in the 2y reconstructed mass
              look very weird <br>
              and don't seem to improve per iteration. This is probably
              very closely <br>
              related to the aforementioned issues with Layer 3. Usually
              I've never <br>
              seen this behaviour for the background and total fits, as
              things looked <br>
              rather clean for other experiments (see attached Be target
              from PrimEx).<br>
              <br>
              Also, looking at the coefficient of variation vs.
              iteration plot, there <br>
              is a big drop in the last iteration, which doesn't really
              reflect in the <br>
              other plots (it's essentially zero), so I'm not sure why
              that happened. <br>
              Currently, I'm not sure what advice to give for layer 3,
              since it seems <br>
              to be a complexity related to the CPP/NPP experiment
              conditions. Maybe <br>
              someone can give additional comments on this.<br>
              <br>
              Best regards,<br>
