Fluctuations in the Mixed Event Technique

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A method for an evaluation of fluctuations in the mixed event technique is proposed. It is shown, that, generally, the magnitude of the fluctuations is proportional to N3/4N^{3/4}, where NN is the number of produced events, which should be compared with N1/2N^{1/2} for the case of independent events. The formula eligible for the use in an analysis of experimental data is provided.
