7. Discussion

04/04/2011, 11:50

The goal is to outline and start addressing the issues relevant for a uniform definition of cross sections across the experiments, and for the combination of experimental results, including W+gamma final states Topics to be covered in the discussion: * Common fiducial volumes. Uncertainty in extrapolation of one experiments' results to the others' volume * optimal fiducial volume (minimize...
