Purity analysis of particles short lifetimes

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1971-1996)

Summary

We propose a simple and accurate method for normalized calculation of short particle lifetimes (especially tested for heavy flavours). It involves sensitive detection and natural cancellation of physical background. Being pure probability, besides, it is normally unbiased, getting rid of various drawbacks of usual statistics.
