[Rivet] mcplots - Problem with the OPAL 2004 Rivet analysis ?

Hi guys,

I'm looking at Peter's LEP bug report. After having a very brief look at
the publications I think he has a point:

- ALEPH_2004_S5765862 seems to be using charged+neutral but without
  neutrals below approx. 1-2 GeV (see section 2.3). We are using all
  charged+neutral. Are they correcting later for the soft neutrals
  or do we need to exclude them, too?

- OPAL_2004_S6132243 also seems to use charged+neutral (and "neutral
  leptons" -- see section 4.2) as described in 5.2. We are only using
  charged particles. That's definitely a bug.

Andy, Siggi, those are your analyses and you know the papers much
better. Can you please have a look at this, so that it can go into
1.5.1?

Cheers,

    Hendrik

may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of planes owned
that would result in separation from your partner.       -- Veluminati
