Track significance
Topic: Physics
From HandWiki - Reading time: 1 min
Track significance, in high energy collision experiments, is defined as the ratio between the impact parameter of a track (distance from the primary vertex) and the estimated error in it.[1][2]
- Formula
[math]\displaystyle{ S= a_o/Error(a_o) }[/math]
