Yes, as I explained on Monday the full set of cuts includes also the 
coplanarity cut, which is BTW in my case with the 3 \sigma approach to 
install the cuts quite strong 3\sigma is 0.06 rad.

Yes I do not apply polar angle correlation cut, this is somehow the only 
degree of freedom not still used. I think in principle the momentum 
balance with the sum of P_z also vertex difference should mainly provide 
both the coplanarity and theta correlation?

I agree and I can add also the theta correlation cuts (all rest to 
constrain the elastic events is already used!), but why at least 
for electron runs the integrated case is so similar to Fig. 14, does it 
mean Jan also did not used any theta correlation, or as I said before the 
combination of already used cuts mainly constrain also \theta to be 
correlated?
