Hi Eugene,
During the meeting Doug asked me if I had updated my preliminary
acceptance cuts, since the wire chambers have been moved around... and I
realized I had not thought about that.

This might explain why we see a problem with the vertex distribution (my
polynomial cuts get thrown off by edge effects due to the new acceptance).

I will look into this more carefully...
