    That's right, however I introduced parametrizations olny for D3 and D4.
    Currently I updated my local brat with new D2 parametrization (I got 
    measurement from Ramiro during my last stay at BNL) and will test the 
    effect on the D2 - D3/D4 momentum correlation. We need the same for D1.
     Ramiro, please re-sent me your excel file with the measurement, so I 
    can retrieve the values for D1 as well.
     (for D2 there is 1-2% deviation between new and the old parametrization 
    - new D2 momenta are suspected to be lower by 1-2% as compare to the old 
    D2 momenta).
    
    Regards Pawel.
