I think there's something wrong with the kinematics.

This might be a good opportunity to start using m_ll instead of the square...

RE data Vs theory something is wrong with the first bin (this is theory / data), it is systematically 30% off (probably some normalization or I did wrong a cut in my theory predictions).

The second bin and third bins seem ok.

Third and fourth a bit worse, I guess the statistics are all around the place but so is the data:

ratio = array([0.63142557, 0.69191467, 0.72222455, 0.72407745, 0.76986966,
       0.82255564, 1.04158693, 1.03487063, 1.01877841, 1.01176393,
       1.01778132, 1.00585585, 1.00522577, 0.99522485, 0.99550279,
       1.00101172, 1.00696618, 1.01148373, 1.02241088, 1.0466769 ,
       1.06189633, 1.07604775, 1.06241513, 1.1156114 , 1.03361906,
       0.98315902, 0.97514231, 0.97673345, 0.93802319, 1.00462591,

       0.8514168 ])

And the plots for the 2nd, 3rd and 5th bins (disregard the value of the mass which is wrong and filled just to get different plots)

Let me check this.

I'm a bit worried about this dataset still because the agreement of the second bin is quite good (which is also special since it is the one that contains the Z mass).

But, here's the problem, I'm not normalising by the bin width, and according to the hepdata info, it is normalized. So I'd like to have a second look.

fwiw, the differences I see (the sames as I put above) are clearly not a factor of the bin width either.
