Dear Vitaliy,
        The meaning of "Cerekov cuts was not valid" is:
        when you analyze run 2306-2343 with Cerekov
Cuts:"ncl>-1"or"ncr>-1"(root -l show_ep_asym2.C 2306-2343),
        charge is correct, but events after Cerekov cuts are zero.( I
believe Cerekov detector did not working well for some reason.)
        Therefore, if you run show_ep_asym2.C all, charge summed over all
runs. But Yield summed all except run 2306-2343. So you can not get
correct asy.
        You can try it. for example (root -l show_ep_asym2.C 2306). You
will fully understand what I mean.
        Best regards,
        Wang
        

2306-2343,
