Update on Hist vs Func Templates
Repeat of Cut Review
Updated on Thu, 2013-02-07 17:05. Originally created by sgliske on 2013-02-07 16:59.- The cross section is not very sensitive to these cuts
- While the mass plots look nices, it appears the MC fits work comparably well for any cut choice
- The high cost of cutting statistics is not sufficiencly offset by reductions in systematics, and thus no cuts will be changed.

Remaining items on my single-beam background wish-list are to examine the mass distribution for events without a BBC-coincidence, quantify the percentage which pass our cuts, and examine the φ-

BTOW Gain Calibration -- The effect of the HT trigger
I discovered that the code that should have been rejecting electrons that pointed towards a HT trigger tower was not working properly. I fixed the problem and re-ran the code. No
