Data Unfolding

Chapter
Part of the Springer Theses book series (Springer Theses)

Abstract

Comparisons between data and theoretical predictions need to be performed in a consistent way: either, detector effects are added to any model predictions and curves are compared at detector level, or data are corrected to the stable particle level, where detector effects are removed; any event generator which includes parton evolution, hadronization and UE simulation, produces predictions at this level.

Keywords

Singular Value Decomposition Detector Effect Migration Effect Response Matrix Detector Simulation 
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
