Detailed Description

This class contains static member functions to calculate the energy loss stragling - most notably the N-particle energy loss as a sum of convolutions of a Landau and Gauss distribution.

That is, for a single particle we have the function \( f(x)\):

\[ f(x;\Delta_p,\xi,\sigma') = \frac{1}{\sigma' \sqrt{2 \pi}} \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} dx' f'_{L}(x',\Delta_p,\xi) \exp{-\frac{(x-x')^2}{2\sigma'^2}} \]

where \( f'_{L}\) is the Landau distribution, \(\Delta_p\) the most probable energy loss, \( \xi\) the width of the Landau, and \( \sigma'^2=\sigma^2-\sigma_n^2 \). Here, \(\sigma\) is the variance of the Gaussian, and \(\sigma_n\) is a parameter modelling noise in the detector.

for \( i\) particles this is modified to

\[ f_i(x;\Delta_{p},\xi,\sigma')=f(x;\Delta_{p,i},\xi_i,\sigma_i') \]

corresponding to \( i\) particles i.e., with the substitutions

\begin{eqnarray*} \Delta_p \rightarrow \Delta_{p,i}&=& i(\Delta_p + \xi\log(i))\\ \xi \rightarrow \xi_i &=& i \xi\\ \sigma \rightarrow \sigma_i &=& \sqrt{i}\sigma\\ \sigma'^2 \rightarrow \sigma_i'^2 &=& \sigma_n^2 + \sigma_i^2 \end{eqnarray*}

Because of the convolution with a Gaussian, the most-probable-value \(\Delta_p'\) of the resulting distribution is not really at the Landau most-probable-value \(\Delta_p\). In fact we find that \(\Delta_p' > \Delta_p\).

Ideally, one would find an analytic expression for this shift by solving

\begin{eqnarray} 0 &=& \frac{d f_i(x;\Delta_p,\xi,\sigma)}{d\Delta}\\ &=& \frac{d}{d\Delta}\frac{1}{\sigma' \sqrt{2 \pi}} \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} dx' f'_{L}(x',\Delta_p,\xi) \exp{-\frac{(x-x')^2}{2\sigma'^2}} \end{eqnarray}

for \( x\) as a function of \(\Delta_p,\xi,\sigma,i\). However, do to the complex nature of the Landau distribution this is not really feasible.

Instead, the shift was studied numerically. Landau-Gauss distributions for \(i=1,\ldots\) where generated with varying \(\xi\) and \(\sigma\). The distributions was then numerically differentiated and the root \(\Delta_p'\) of that derivative found numerically. The difference \(\delta\Delta_p=\Delta_p'-\Delta_p\) was then studied as a function of the \(\sigma,\xi\) parameters and an approximate expression was found

\[ \delta\Delta_p \approx \frac{c \sigma u}{(1+1/i)^{p u^{3/2}}} \]

where \( u=\sigma/\xi\). The parameters \(c\) and \(p\) is found to depend on \( u\) only weakly, and for practical applications where \(u\approx1\), we set \( c=p=1/2\).

For the evaluating the full energy loss distribution from f \( 1+2+\ldots,n\) particles, we evaluate

\[ f_N(x;\Delta_p,\xi,\sigma')=\sum_{i=1}^N a_i f_i(x;\Delta_p,\xi,\sigma',a) \]

where \( f(x;\Delta_p,\xi,\sigma')\) is the convolution of a Landau with a Gaussian (see LandauGaus), and \( a\) is a vector of weights for each \( f_i\). Note that \( a_1 = 1\).

Everything is defined in this header file to make it easy to move this code around. Nothing here's meant to be persistent, so we can easily do that.
