Note

  • We removed all kinematic cuts and loosened some vertex quality cuts when generating bare ntuples.
  • This table uses full MagDown run 1 and 2 cocktail MC.
  • Additional step 2 cuts are applied here.
  • ALL numbers are number of events.
  • We applied the same cuts for run 1 and 2.

  • ALL numbers are number of events.
  • The Trig. + Strip. entries should not be trusted as we don't include numbers extracted from DaVinci log.
