Background understanding and detector inefficiency Can we understand the remaining events from a view of photon inefficiency ? ( if possible, subtract them as backgrounds.) An Idea : Special trigger Kp2 but one photon is missed. (2) Event reconstruction Missing photon kinematics (3) Photon inefficiency as a function of its energy and direction ? NOTE : Different type of critical backgrounds. Geometrical dependence : Detector hole, dead material Energy dependence : Photonuclear interaction …
