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>
Stjepan<br>
