•Counting:
•Restrict the location of collisions vertex to the region in which the silicon detectors had good acceptance •Tracklets: 3 point tracks passing through firs four layers of spectrometer (SPEC) or from vertex detector (VTX)
•Determination of number of primary particles from tracklets:
•Primaries are all charged hadrons produced in collision, including products from strong interactions and electromagnetic decays but excluding products from weak decays and hadrons produced in secondary interactions
•
•Determination of systematic errors
•
