On the Frequency Distribution of Neutral Particles from Low-Energy Strong Interactions

Figure 6

(a) Statistical uncertainty on the estimated number of soft QCD particles, , as a function of particles and , averaged over the events generated for this study. (b) Absolute deviation of the estimated number of soft QCD particles from the corresponding true value, normalised to the true number of signal particles, , as a function of particles and , averaged over the events generated for this study. The plots confirm the level of precision and accuracy that can be achieved using this method, in that is below 1 particle and is significantly lower than 1.
