Summary Results are generally what was expected from prior work by C.-E. Wulz, M. Dittmar, and others, but One can now explore challenges that emerge with the more sophisticated existing simulation and reconstruction. One can now explore what systematics in the angular distribution arise due to acceptance, production, etc. As expected, with any steeply falling spectrum, reducing and understanding way-out tails of resolution is crucial. This work was based on only a crude understanding of the tracker code. One can explore much better ways to use it. We will work to help quantify the above We would like to thank many people who helped us in this study, in particular Norbert Neumeister, Nicola Amapane and Hannes Sakulin PRS/Muon meeting 9 September 24, 22
