These collections were not used in the previous results I showed. First thought I made a mistake in the name of the root file, and that these collection were in fact taken at 3.2 MV.

30 How do we proceed? Analyze monte-carlo with correct hourglass shape (tried once, but hourglass in monte-carlo was not correct we believe). Unlikely cause, IMHO. Backgrounds (tau, 2-photon)? Unlikely cause, IMHO. Effect of parasitic crossings (now have bunch number in ntuples … so should be easy). Unlikely cause, IWHO. Think about asymmetric bunches more Perhaps help Ilya/Witold study at simulation? Some machine studies?
