Hi Stefano,

one example I just took from an event file looks like this:

Toggle Spoiler


When you calculate the mass of particle 4, it evaluates to 142.266MeV.

The maximum error in mass due to rounding at 4 digits precision is
err_max=0.05MeV*(E+px+py+pz)/sqrt(E^2-px^2-py^2-pz^2)
It is admittedly not very likely that the maximum error is indeed achieved, but it does happen.
