Table 5-11. Number of observed events and PID-unfolded events <strong>in</strong> each mode.<br />
Apply<strong>in</strong>g the base PID cuts, the Fisher cut and the loose SMS selection, we have selected a sample of 166<br />
candidates <strong>in</strong> which the � ¦ is compatible with the � hypothesis and a sample of 143 candidates <strong>in</strong> which<br />
the � ¦ is compatible with the K hypothesis. Fitt<strong>in</strong>g the first sample (Ã Ë � candidates), we get:<br />

Fig. 5-17 shows the Ñ�Ë distribution with superimposed the fitted function for the candidates compatible<br />
with the � hypothesis.<br />
Apply<strong>in</strong>g the Cross-feed Table (Table 5-10) to the raw yields given by the fits determ<strong>in</strong>es the number of<br />
unfolded signal events <strong>in</strong> each mode. Table 5-11 summarizes the results. Tak<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to account the efficiency<br />
of the selection ( � and � for �Ã Ë and ÃÃ Ë respectively) the results are consistent with the<br />
f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g of the global likelihood method.<br />
5.7 Determ<strong>in</strong>ation of branch<strong>in</strong>g fraction<br />
We determ<strong>in</strong>e branch<strong>in</strong>g fractions for � Ã Ë and an upper limit for the Ã Ã Ë decay us<strong>in</strong>g the results of the<br />
global likelihood fit. The <strong>in</strong>dividual efficiencies are reported <strong>in</strong> previous sections. The total efficiencies are<br />
� �� ¦ �� for � Ã Ë and � � ¦ �� for Ã Ã Ë , where the error is comb<strong>in</strong>ed statistical and systematic.<br />
