Dear Experts,
I am trying to fit the Z peak with breit wigner+Crystal ball as signal and
background PDF as constant+linear+quadratic+linear.
By eye judgement the fit seems to be ok. Please find that attached.
But I get the warning as:[code]
Warning in <Fit>: Abnormal termination of minimization.

It seems that the const background has reached its limit and that is why fitter is giving this warning.
I tried varying the const bkg value many times but it didnt help. But everytime I see the fit roughly the same
as attached.
What would you advice me here: shall I ignore this warning ‘or’
try to tweak this parameter more (in this case what range of const bkg do you think
could be?)?
Thanks for your help,
Shilpi
