    • For tracks that pass near the wires in the FDC, the hits are often not reconstructed.
  • Tracking (Paul):
    • The missing mass vs beam energy distributions (for all topologies) have a sharp change near 4.2 GeV. This indicates an inconsistency with the TAGH beam energies. Nathan will look into it.
      • The other irregularities in these plots may be due to not subtracting the accidentals. Paul will try this next time.

Thus they are difficult to interpret, and it will take some work to deconvolve the contributions to the resolution from the missing momentum.
