In event mixing two collisions with slightly different z vertex position can be used. Since clusters are corrected for the vertex position the possible eta values for single cell clusters depend on the z vertex position. In same event combinations these possible discrete values are the same resulting in discrete combined eta values. In mixed event without correcting for this the eta position of clusters from collion A and clusters from collision B can have different discrete values resuting in different discrete combined values. This new option aims to make eta values from mixed event pairs look more similar to same event pairs by shifting the eta value of all clusters from collision B according to the verte position of collision A.
