Of course is • extract the corrected DYY values from the linear combinations: • no cos dependence ) direct evaluation of  and 0 yealds DYY EVALUATION: 0.7 · |cos |· 1.

  19. 4body event reconstruction @ DISTO pattern reconstruction and track fitting iteration: pattern recognition provides candidate for the fitting stage; input is the 12D coordinates vector track fitting: 5D parameter vector (x,y): coordinates of the intersection point with z = 0 a: inclination of track at z = 0 : starting angle in (x-z) plane : inverse momentum perpendicolar to B detector coordinated depend smootly on all parameters

  20. 4body event reconstruction @ DISTO track fitting by lookup table: goal is inverting in look-up table: 5D lattice that provide for tracks track coordinates consist in linear interpolation of the lattice to obtain 2 minimisation: F inversion is performed minimizing: iteration stops if do not change to nearest grid point
