Mass distributions marginalized over per-event errors

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2014-08-12 v2

Abstract

We present generalizations of the Crystal-Ball function to describe mass peaks in which the per-event mass resolution is unknown and marginalized over. The presented probability density functions are tested using a series of toy-MC samples generated with Pythia and smeared with different amounts of multiple scattering and for different detector resolutions.
