Cancelling out systematic uncertainties
We present a method to minimize, or even cancel out, the nuisance parameters affecting a measurement. Our approach is general and can be applied to any experiment or observation. We compare it with the bayesian technique used to deal with nuisance parameters: marginalization, and show how the method compares and improves by avoiding biases. We illustrate the method with several examples taken f...
متن کاملResolving astrophysical uncertainties in dark matter direct detection
We study the impact of the assumed velocity distribution of galactic dark matter particles on the interpretation of results from nuclear recoil detectors. By converting experimental data to variables that make the astrophysical unknowns explicit, different experiments can be compared without implicit assumptions concerning the dark matter halo. We extend this framework to include the annual mod...
متن کاملFiltering out near - surface uncertainties from helioseismicinversionsSarbani
The diierences between observed solar p-mode frequencies and the frequencies of a reference model can be inverted to infer the structure of the Sun using a variety of linear inversion techniques. However, it is well known that the adiabatic description, which is often employed in frequency calculations, breaks down in the outermost layers of the Sun. This and other uncertainties in the treatmen...
متن کاملIntegrating out Gluons in Flow Equations
We present an exact nonperturbative flow equation for the average action for quarks which incorporates the effects of gluon fluctuations. With suitable truncations this allows one to compute effective multiquark interactions in dependence on an infrared scale k. Our method amounts to integrating out the gluons with momenta larger than k.
متن کاملIntegrating out strange quarks in ChPT
We study three flavour chiral perturbation theory in a limit where the strange quark mass is much larger than the external momenta and the up and down quark masses, and where the external fields are those of two–flavour chiral perturbation theory. In this case, the theory reduces to the one of SU(2)L × SU(2)R. Through this reduction, one can work out the strange quark mass dependence of the LEC...
