Event Selection
• Multiple photons were sometimes tagged
• Several algorithms were considered
Select random photon
Select more energetic photon
Select photon with larger
probability from kinematic fitting
Remove events with multiple
tagged photons
• Analysis simply removed events with
multiple tagged photons
