Fitting R(t), the MC ratio

**Table 1:** Fitting Summary Summary of the &chi²/dof for fits as presented above and extracted c parameters (where c =1 corresponds to expected degree of interference and c=0 corresponds to no interference). The statistical error associated with the c parameter is multiplied by a correction factor defined as the SQRT of the &chi²/dof. In addition the difference between the statistical error and the 'corrected' error is taken in the last column.
