Emulsion and bubble-chamber statistics for the determination of track density

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

The likelihood function is given as a function of the coefficient of the exponent. From this function the exponential coefficient is calculated and the statistical accuracy determined. It is also shown how, with a given amount of experimental data, the maximum statistical accuracy is achieved in the determination of the track density.

Riassunto

Si esprime la funzione di probabilità come funzione del coefficiente dell’esponente Da questa funzione si calcola il coefficiente esponenziale e si determina la precisione statistica. Si mostra anche come ottenere, con un dato numero di dati sperimentali, la massima precisione statistica nella determinazione della densità di traccia.
