Salvatore Fiore K0 K0  analisys: some updates Cuts optimization Analysis cuts’ bounds have been chosen looking only at signal and bkgd MC, as each cut was added. However, to exclude personal biases from the analysis, an optimization on the selection cuts has been performed looking again only at signal and bkgd MC’s, and minimizing the quantity Here the quantity “#ev @ 90% CL” is evaluated from the background surviving events, using Feldman Cousins method for sensitivity (this is ok, no “expected mean bkgd” inconsistency) 30/05/2007 Salvatore Fiore K0 K0  analisys: some updates

MC-Data agreement checks From last phidec meeting To make sure of the MC correct behaviour, we made some checks on our selection variables: We chose a sideband control sample, made by those events which did not survive both “KSKS invariant mass” and “E2miss-P2miss” cuts. For these events, we evaluated the MC/data ratio for KSKS invariant mass and E2miss-P2miss distribution. 30/05/2007 Salvatore Fiore K0 K0  analisys: some updates

Photon efficiency curve GEANFI MC photon efficiency is optimized applying an efficiency corection through an hit-miss: some photon clusters are thus flagged as “not seen in data”. Removing these clusters fom our Signal MC, efficiency decreases from 21.5% to 20.6% (4% reduction) In MC bkgd, no event surviving kine cuts contains such photons: no effect on bkgd evaluation. 30/05/2007 Salvatore Fiore K0 K0  analisys: some updates
