Fitting with “old” or “new” MC Different shape of the background distribution Fit residuals are not flat in the signal region

Fitting with “new” MC Different shape of the background distribution Fit residuals are not flat in the signal region

What is new in the “new” MC Many methodological differences between “new” and “old”: NEW analysis: K L crash algorithm now applied in the MC exactly as in data Different treatment of split tracks NEW MC production: DC Wire sags HW wire efficiency simulated Different s-t relations EMC Muon cluster energy rescaled Pion nuclear interactions revised K L nuclear interactions revised GENERATION: K Se3 now available on a run-by-run basis OLD MC scratched from tapes, we can study it only using selected evts
