Binomial acceptance corrections for particle number distributions in high-energy reactions
Binomial acceptance corrections for particle number distributions in high-energy reactions
The binomial acceptance correction procedure is studied for particle number distributions detected in high-energy reactions in finite regions of the momentum space. We present acceptance correction formulas for scaled variance, skewness, and kurtosis. Our considerations include various specific types of particles---positively or negatively charged baryons and antibaryons---as well as conserved …
