Background suppression The main background for B0pΛπ- and B+ΛΛπ+ is continuum qq events. (q=u,d,s,c). The Topology of continuum events and B decays are different. We choose |cosθThrust| S⊥ R2so R4so R2oo R3oo R4oo as the fisher input and combine it with cosθB to calculate the likelihood ratio. We define the Super-fox wolfram moment (F) like: We use Fisher’s discriminant to optimize the coefficients. B decay continuum events Υ(4S) J.Schümann, 13.03.’05 Moriond QCD '05
