  • Asmita will give a remote talk in the xsec pre-meeting (nuclear model corrections)
  • 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.


Going to Japan next week: Ciro, Hieho, Martti
