- Aki spoke to beam group for emulsion exposure in ND280 pit, don't have detailed schedule yet
"Delta++ like" selection
- Additional neutral particles in a reaction: No problem for xsec calculation, according to Alvarez-Ruso.
- Additional low E charged particles: Problematic, some cuts already in generator, solve by using "hand-waving" cuts.
Boosted decision trees (BDT)
- Aki: Possibility to use BDT for event selection is helpful, Serhan is using this.
- Hieho tried in 2012, didn't give better results than likelihood approach. Could be worth another try.
