Angular distributions of $\cos\theta_b$, $\cos\theta_l$, $\cos\theta$, $\phi_b$ and $\phi_l$ for the background-subtracted candidates. The long and downstream categories for the different data-taking years have been combined. The result of the moment analysis, folded with the angular efficiency, is overlaid. The contribution from the long and downstream categories are indicated by the green and red lines, respectively.
