It is shown that the difference happens due to kinematical constraints in the real events, and to the effect of contribution of photons from chi_c --> J/psi gamma decay to the mixed-event background. The relative strength of these effects is studied in Monte Carlo. The correction methods of these physical effects in data are considered.
