      Dear Hiro,
              I guess that the figure was made only
    for events in which the BB and the TPM1 vertex
    failed. If so the effect you see could be induced
    by an (multiplicity dependent)
    inefficency in the vertex algorithm of 
    these detectors. Could you please remake the
    same plot for an unbiased sample of events from
    the same run. Ideally that would be just ZDC triggers.
               Yours Michael
