Figure 3-1. Comparison among <strong>in</strong>variant mass distributions for � � reconstructed as Ã Ë us<strong>in</strong>g the three<br />

algorithms, superimposed (a) and with three separate fits (b).<br />

¯ “KsDefault” is a ref<strong>in</strong>ement of the “KsLoose” list: the vertex is performed and only candidates with<strong>in</strong><br />

25 MeV of the PDG mass are accepted. In this case the mass is recomputed at the vertex.<br />

¯ “KsTight” ref<strong>in</strong>es the “KsDefault” list apply<strong>in</strong>g the mass constra<strong>in</strong>t.<br />

Note that the selection that creates these list is only based on mass w<strong>in</strong>dows.<br />

3.2 Study on MC truth<br />

In order to understand the reconstruction efficiency of the Ã Ë and possible sources of <strong>in</strong>efficiency, a study<br />

at MC truth level has been performed. Good part of the effort has been spent <strong>in</strong> understand<strong>in</strong>g where do<br />

the Ã Ë actually decay and with which momentum. Figure 3-2 details the acceptance regions for the à Ë<br />

reconstruction and it is very helpful <strong>in</strong> understand<strong>in</strong>g which topics we should be concentrat<strong>in</strong>g upon. It<br />

appears clear, for <strong>in</strong>stance, that the outer region of the DCH , albeit challeng<strong>in</strong>g, is not the top priority.<br />

Start<strong>in</strong>g with the Ã Ë <strong>in</strong> the list from the Monte Carlo truth, we check whether the Ã Ë is <strong>in</strong> the KsDefault<br />

list or not. The geometrical acceptance requires � �� � and � � � �� �. We subdivided our MC à Ë<br />
