Background-subtracted + e+ e positron energy spectrum. The ADC values for the calorimeter module with the maximum energy and its nearest neighbors are summed. A simplified GEANT simulation with the single global high-energy threshold for all calorimeter clumps is shown in a full line histogram.
Background-subtracted + e+ e positron timing spectrum. A fit to the exponential decay function with +=26.03 ns is shown superimposed on the histogram.
The + 0e+ e energy spectrum. The sum of energies of two calorimeter clumps that best fit the 0 hypotesis is shown together with the Monte Carlo simulation of the ADC lineshape. The energy scale and the calorimeter resolutions used in a GEANT program are fixed by the + e+ e data.
The + 0e+ e timing spectrum. A fit to the exponential decay curve with +=26.03 ns is plotted as a full line.
The + 0e+ e events sample: - opening angle. A GEANT simulation prediction is shown with full line histogram.
Signal-to-background ratio for the pion beta decay events. The full line represents an independent fit to the signal lineshape measured with SCX events plus the superimposed random background.
Signal-to-background ratio for the 1-arm high threshold trigger with one minimum ionizing and one neutral particle inside the delayed gate. Software cuts imposed on the high-threshold calorimeter trigger are: 2E /m > 0.9, Ee+> 14.7 MeV and e > 143o. The full line represents an independent fit to the signal lineshape measured with SCX events plus the superimposed random background.

Background-subtracted histogram of ER=Ee+E+ | pe+p| kinematic variable. The positron direction is determined from the MWPC data, and the photon momentum from the appropriately weighted CsI calorimeter ADCs. The predicted ER spectrum calculated in a GEANT simulation is represented by a full line histogram.
