¯ Fisher Output: The uncerta<strong>in</strong>ty due to the shape of � <strong>in</strong> signal events is determ<strong>in</strong>ed by us<strong>in</strong>g the<br />

shape obta<strong>in</strong>ed from � � � � decays <strong>in</strong> data. For background, alternative parameterizations are<br />

obta<strong>in</strong>ed from the fit done with off-resonance data and cont<strong>in</strong>uum Monte Carlo.<br />

¯ PID: The � parameterization offset and resolution have both been changed of ¦ � ÑÖ��. The<br />

fraction of the satellite peak has been varied from to � <strong>in</strong>dependently for � and K. Another<br />

systematic cross-check we have performed is us<strong>in</strong>g separate �ÁÊ� PDFs for positive and negative<br />

charged kaons or pions: this gives no change <strong>in</strong> the Ã Ë � yield and a �� difference <strong>in</strong> the asymmetry.<br />

When just one systematic check is tried, the error is assumed to be symmetric. The systematic uncerta<strong>in</strong>ties<br />

<strong>in</strong> the fit results are summarized <strong>in</strong> Table 5-8 for the Ã Ë � yield and <strong>in</strong> Table 5-9 for the asymmetry <strong>in</strong> the<br />

Ã Ë � mode. The systematics due to this method for the Ã Ë Ã mode is .<br />

We looked at the ¡� distribution the Ñ�Ë signal band: figure 5-14 shows the fit of the signal with a<br />

fixed background shape taken from Ñ�Ë side-band. Fitted ¡� mean and resolution are <strong>in</strong> good agreement<br />

with the ones estimated from � � control sample and used <strong>in</strong> the global likelihood fit. The mean value is<br />

�� ¦ ���Å�Î, the resolution is � ¦ ���Å�Îand the area gives �� ¦ � events: the � �Ò�� of the fit<br />

is � ���. Leav<strong>in</strong>g the background float<strong>in</strong>g the result is compatible with the quoted one.<br />
