Electron Energy Resolution

The electron energy resolution is measured by matching the observed width of the Z mass peak in the data with the Monte Carlo. It is parametrized as
SigmaE/E = 0.130 / sqrt(ET) + CCCEM + NCC/E ( CC )
SigmaE/E = 0.157 / sqrt(ET) + CECEM + NEC/E ( EC )

The constant term is tuned by matching the observed width of the Z mass peak in the data with the Monte Carlo. The Z invariant mass spectrum is fitted with the Breit-Wigner convoluted with Gaussian and plus the Background shape.
