It will be interesting to understand if the difference is due to the
production of secondary particles. In this respect I think the the
effects of the different cuts should be understood.
It will be very interesting for everyone the possibility to check
this kind of effect using Montecarlo data produced using Minos.
Do you think that standard DST with MINOS could be available
for everyone?

Yes, I was going to suggest this myself. Actually I am not set up
here to produce MUADSTs. However, I can make FZEX files of simulated
data available, which I believe Antonio or Teresa could easily convert
to MUADSTs. (One caveat -- if memory serves, at one time there was a
problem transferring Unix-generated GMACRO FZEX files to VAX; but I
believe I fixed all those problems about 1995.)

At this point I have only included numu and numubar in my MC. The
dataset is about 350 MB for 79 years of Lipari, and about the same for
NEUGEN. I will of course eventually include electron neutrini, so I
can do that immediately if there is interest. I guess if I include
nue the size will almost double.

Let me know,
Bob
