On the following pages are example $dE/dx$ distributions at total momentum 4,6,10,19, 30, 38 and 47 GeV. The lower bins are taken from the 20 \ensuremath {A\mathrm {GeV}} data, while the higher bins are from 158 \ensuremath {A\mathrm {GeV}} data. There are plots at 10 GeV for both energies for comparison. The highest and lowest bins are at (or even slightly beyond) the limits of the momentum range for the kaon analysis. All plots are for positive particles and $0.5 < \ensuremath{p_T}< 0.6$ GeV/$c$. The top panels show measured distribution and fit and the lower panel are the fit residuals, divided by the statistical error (so the values are 'number of sigma' deviation).
