Varied pT cut (1.5 GeV, 1 GeV, 500 MeV)
Allowed for events with 2 good tracks only (+),
originally 4 good tracks where required,
in order to fully reconstruct the BSDS() decay

Enlarged angle cuts ,  between K+ and K:
10  13 deg (see next slide)
changed from CDF fitter to VKal fitter
Used reprocessed data (r1093)
Applied the analysis to MC Min.Bias sample

What we presently do/plan to do




Do background subtraction by using same sign
combinations of tracks.
Find more appropriate function for describing the
background shape (polynomial has stability problems
with low statistics).
The fitting function for signal should better be a BreitWigner accounting for phase space convoluted with a
Gaussian to represent the detector resolution.
Go down only to pT > 0.8 GeV, and build a phi peak
again (still no dE/dx). Make a mass plot of ()
candidates, that build a 3-prong vertex, look at the
DS meson mass region (putting both + and 
candidates into one plot).

Width of the (1020) in MC truth
Fitting the Monte Carlo truth  signal with a Breit-Wigner (relativistic
and non-relativistic) gives m = 1019.38  0.004 GeV
and  = 4.45  0.01 GeV, which is larger than the current PDG value

Fitting the (1020) signal

Using a convolution of a Breit-Wigner with a
Gaussian (and a threshold function for the bg)

inside the RooFit framework

has already implemented this convolution: “Voigtian“
– fix width of Breit-Wigner ( = 4.26 GeV)
RooVoigtian signal("signal","Voigtian PDF",x,mean,width,sigma);
width.setVal(4.26);
width.setConstant(kTRUE);
RooGenericPdf bg("bg","background","(x-987.35)^p*exp(-b*(x-987.35))",RooArgSet(x,p,d));
RooAddPdf model("model","sum of signal and bg",RooArgList(signal,bg),RooArgList(Nsig,Nbkg));
model.fitTo(data); // Extended Maximum Likelihood Fit (unbinned)

Comparision with the old method
Gauss

(pT > 1.5 GeV)
N = 60.7  15
 = 2.93  0.74
One gets 30% more events
(due to tails of Breit-Wigner).
N = 58  16
 = 2.88  0.76
