Dear all,

I met one problem when I use the PandaRoot to do one simple study. The decay chain of my study is: Psi(3770) -> D+ D- ->(k- pi+ pi+)( k+ pi- pi-)
I simulated 10k signals, but only 300~400 events survived.
I think this efficiency is too low.

The following is the detailed infomation of one event from generator. TrackIDs of (k-, pi+, pi+, k+, pi-, pi-) are always (0,1,2,3,4,5). So, I use this trackID as PID in this study.

I checked, and found that the tracking efficiency of (k-, pi+, pi+, k+, pi-, pi-) is only about 50~60%, when MC trackID' match is required. this low efficiency of each track could explain the low efficiency of this channel.
but, when I did single track study, the tracking efficiency of pi+ with MCtrackID match is close to 80%. This is also low, but still acceptable considering McID match.

It seems that when there are multiple tracks, 6 in my case, the tracking efficiency will become worse. Is this the problem?
I hope that's only one bug of my analysis.


Thanks
