Hi Sercan,

Thanks for the quick feedback. So this confirms that there is some
change from the trigger fixes, and the analysis seems to work
~correctly.

Correct, the YODA version (in trunk) is still under development and
some histos are not being filled. There is a maintained parallel
branch which still has the older AIDA histogram system, in case you
need anything for production:

Cheers,
Frank
