I beg to differ.
First of all what do you mean "not valid". Secondly what is this cut
(I>75), if it is a beam current than I don't think you are doing
yourself a favor in making this cut. Also, if the cuts are invalid than
the result should bear this out. As of now you are cutting out about a
quarter of all events but excluding those runs. I still state that
cerenkov do improve the result imensely (dil. of about 0.17), until
proven otherwise.
