Description
The problem of correcting data for detector effects (unfolding) is
disussed, with emphasis on practical difficulties showing up
in particle physics. A selection of unfolding methods
commonly used in particle physics is presented, such as
iterative algorithms (D'Agostini), methods based on matrix
decomposition (SVD unfolding) and fits with Tikhonov regularisation
(TUnfold). The differences between the methods are discussed and their
weak and strong points are compared.
