Re: [Brahms-l] A new version for the paper

Hi Zhongbao:  Thanks for the changes.
I am still confused, however, by the discussion on how you handle
the yields above the point where the 2 sig PID ranges overlap.

What you say in the paper is that you throw away the pion and proton
yields that fall in the overlap regions, without further correction.
This obviously yields a systematic
under-accounting of these yields.  Consider pi/k separation,
since the overall kaon yields are less
than the pion yields, wouldn't you get an answer closer to the
"truth" by INCLUDING the overlap region?, although now quoting
too large rather than too small a yield?
