Roadmapto a definitive result : Reduce statisticalerror: Extendfitregiondown to 6 ns (at least) hide a bad controlof the background Include 2004 data (0.7 fb-1 , smalleffectanyhow) almostdone, needtotune some cuts, no big surprises Reduce systematics : Redotagsystematics isactuallymuchsmaller ! New estimate ofnuclearinteractions stillusing 2002. Not a big contribution, butmustbechecked Need some work. Connection withfitregion
Tagsystematicswasevaluatedwrongly !!!!!! The variationof the slopewasdirectlyappliedto the resultobtainedwith the standard energythreshold. Instead, the analysisshouldhavebeenrepeated: in this way the effectismuchsmaller !!! We estimate that the tagefficiency can bereducedby at leastfactorof 2
Fitregionhides a seriousproblem Fitveryunstable at smalltimes Assumeditdepends on the beam loss due to regeneration and nuclearinteraction on DC wall : Effect on propertimedistributionevaluatedanalytically: - beam loss on sphericalbeam pipe produce a step - cylindrical DC wallhas a complicatedeffect: at time t1one can feel or not the beam loss depending on kaonemission angle.

New fitfunction far frombeingenough ! EitherPlossgoesvery high (expected 10-3 ÷ 10-4 ), eitherfBCKgoes up to 2 (was 0.74 in previousfit) Regeneration and nuclearinteractions background are reproducedverydifferently in MC at low and at high decaytimes. Needtofixitto data. This can also help re-estimating the nuclearinteractioncorrectiontotL. p+p-p0 background seems under control ?
