Introductory notes • Experimental Data collected can ensure • small statistical errors on measurements. • There are some MC–Data mismatches • and several technicalities which need to • be taken into account in order to improve • measurements and understand systematics.

Advantages and problems in K±measurement • Large K± statistics • Good momentum and spatial resolution • Wide fit region (~30 ns) • Systematics independent from trigger, event classification, timing (?) • Few information at r < 25 cm • Energy losses • Fake 2-tracks vertices
K track requirements and cuts • K+K– events selection and • K± tracks identification with KPMFILT filter • CALO + Cosmic Veto trigger • K decay vertex at rV>25 cm (2tracks) • Kaon track “refit” in K mass hypothesis • fake vertices rejection ( angle + |p| cuts) • vertex at rV<5 cm • | pK – 127 | < 13 MeV/c ( frame)
