Dear all,

In the simulation (#18621) of pbar p -> Ds+ Ds-; Ds- -> K+ K- pi-; Ds+ ->eta e+ nue; eta -> pi+ pi- pi0, I did the mass constraint fitting to the pi0 candidates with PndKinFitter. All the chi2s are pretty small with the mean value of ~0.001. This also happens in the case of eta.

I noticed the previous topic discussed by Albrecht about the negative and extremely small chi2 in PndKinVtxFitter.
https://forum.gsi.de/index.php?t=tree&th=3385&start=0&rid=19 79&S=7cee6febef5676d17dc9e3154e1269e2

Considering the formula for chi2, the small values may be due to a large sigma in the denominator.
Does anybody have some solutions or hints to improve it?
or is there any way else to understand this problem?


Thanks in advance.

Hi,
we have seens the same problem analysing the D*+D*- channel, chi2 too small from the fitter.

Hi,


I don't know the reason for the problem, I just can imagine, that the covariance matrix for the neutrals/gammas might be incorrect. I actually don't know how to check.

Would be a question for the EMC experts...


Best regards,
Klaus

In our case, the used fitter was the 4C and the channel was completely charged (2 kaons + 4 pions).
I believe it is a problem of tracking errors.

Ralf actually is/was taking a close look to the fitters. Maybe that helps to solve the problem soon...

Hi,

In the simulation of Ds- -> K+ K- pi-, I found the chi2 values are too small in the mass constraint fitting of Ds meson, as that in the Ds+ (eta,e+,nu_e) case I mentioned before. And it seems impossible to filter out the background completely with chi2 cutting to get a delta function shaped histo for the Ds mass.

If the problem related the fitter can not be solved at this moment, how can I improve the selection in the present situation?
