论文摘要
这些程序的目标是在粒子物理实验中基于事件加权引入一种方法。加权意味着事件不仅被视为整数数字,而且根据分析中的重要性为重量因素分配。该方法与已知达到最小统计误差的最大似然方法有密切的连接。本文档的目的是对该主题进行更具教育意义的概述。例如,讨论了从散射颗粒中提取光束极化。
Goal of these proceedings is to introduce a method based on event weighting in particle physics experiments. Weighting means that events are not just counted as integer numbers but are assigned a weight factor according to their importance in the analysis. This method has a close connection to the maximum likelihood method known to reach the smallest statistical error. The purpose of this document is to give a more educational overview on the subject. As an example the extraction of a beam polarization from scattered particles is discussed.
