Methodology

Why?

๐œŽ๐‘Š๐‘Š(๐‘š๐‘Š, ฮ“๐‘Š, ๐‘ )= ๐‘๐‘œ๐‘๐‘ 

๐ฟ๐œ–๐‘ƒ(๐‘ƒ =

๐‘๐‘Š๐‘Š

๐‘๐‘Š๐‘Š+๐‘๐‘๐‘˜๐‘”)

so ๐‘š๐‘Š, ฮ“๐‘Š can be obtained by fitting the ๐‘๐‘œ๐‘๐‘ , with the theoretical formula ๐œŽ๐‘Š๐‘Š

How?

In general, these uncertainties are dependent on ๐‘ , so it is a optimization problem

when considering the data taking.

If โ€ฆ, then?

With the configurations of ๐ฟ, ฮ”๐ฟ, ฮ”๐ธ โ€ฆ, we can obtain: ๐‘š๐‘Š~?ฮ“๐‘Š โˆผ?

Theoretical Tool

The ๐œŽ๐‘Š๐‘Š is a function of ๐‘ , ๐‘š๐‘Š and ฮ“๐‘Š,

which is calculated with the GENTLE

package in this work (CC03)

The ISR correction is also calculated by

convoluting the Born cross sections with

QED structure function, with the radiator

where ๐‘ฆ๐‘– , ๐‘ฅ๐‘– are the true and fit results, h is a free

parameter, ๐›ฟ๐‘– and ๐›ฟ๐‘ are the independent and

correlated uncertainties.

For the Gaussian consideration, the scale factor can

reduce the effect.

For the non-Gaussian case, the shift of the ๐‘š๐‘Š is

Scale factor method

This method is used by introducing a free fit parameter to the ๐œ’2:

๐œ’22 = ๐‘–

๐‘“๐‘ฆ๐‘–โˆ’๐‘˜๐‘–2

๐œŽ๐‘–2 +

๐‘“โˆ’1 2

๐œŽ๐‘“2

๐œŽ๐‘– includes stat. and uncorrelated sys errors, ๐œŽ๐‘“ are the correlated errors.

The equivalence of this form and the one from matrix method is

proved in : MO Xiao-Hu HEPNP 30 (2006) 140-146 .

Both the matrix and the factor approach have bias, which may be considerably striking when the data points are quite many or the scale factor is rather large.

According to ref: MO Xiao-Hu HEPNP 31 (2007) 745-749, the unbiased ๐œ’2 is constructed as:

๐œ’32 = ๐‘–

๐‘ฆ๐‘–โˆ’๐‘”๐‘˜๐‘–2

๐œŽ๐‘–2 +

๐‘”โˆ’1 2

๐œŽ๐‘“2 (used in our previous results)

The central value from ๐œ’22 can be re-scaled, the relative error is still larger than those from ๐œ’3
