3. No PID

4. Kaon with RICH

5. Pion with RICH

6. Double ID

7. To ascertain the backgrounds we checked m bc (Kpi) Vs m bc (Kpi) plot The signal side is described with the RICH applied.

No PIDSingle K Single  Double ID K -  +, K   ± RSWSRSWSRSWSRSWS 189691417171218562416732 Result(600pb -1 ) The 2 events in WS-Double ID can be only from mixing as doubly Cabbibo decays are forbidden due to Bose-Einsitien statistics or they can be background. We subtract these 2 (actually RS) events from the other WS candidates. Efficiencies and Fake Rates ε K = 90.6 %, ε  = 97.4 % f K→  = (2.41± 0.52) % f  →K = (1.08± 0.34) %
