Description

Modern experimental facilities and detectors provide tremendous volume of detailed data. For double-hadron reactions, they are usually presented as a set of many panels for, e.g., angular distributions at many particular energies. Such presentation loses visuality, and its physical content may be extracted only through some model-dependent treatment. Instead, we suggest to use expansion into the Legendre series with a relatively small number of essential coefficients. This approach was applied in several experimental investigations and demonstrated its higher visualization. The talk presents some general properties of the Legendre coefficients which allow to extract physical information even without any model-dependent assumptions.
