    It's the momentum I get from the Bfs Tracks. I looked up how this is
    calculated in BrBfsTrackingModule, and this is what I found:
    
          // momentum: there might be a better way to set
          // the momentum by weighting with quality factor
          Double_t BfsMom = (d4P + d3P)/2.;
          trk->SetMomentum(BfsMom);
    
    So the momentum is just the average of D3 and D4 momenta.

    I just found the n that fitted the data best, but is probably varies from
    run to run.

    You're welcome!
