Hi Frank,

No, not yet.

Yes, I think we should definitely include it.

I would call it OPAL_JADE_2000_S4300807 and put all eight CMS energies
in the same analysis, as you'll have the same cuts, histograms etc. for
all the energies. That's the way we've handled such analyses before,
e.g. CDF_2002_S4796047 or the PDG_HADRON_MULTIPLICITIES. To fill all
histograms you then need to run the same analysis with different
generator settings.

Cheers,

     Hendrik
