Eventi di questo tipo hanno xL~1 e possono essere confusi con eventi di fisica diffrattiva Per la conservazione dell’energia gli eventi con: sono dominati beam halo, quindi vanno rimossi! Bisogna valutare la contaminazione!!! Dopo un dettagliato studio si è stimata una contaminazione dovuta agli eventi di beam halo pari al4%
