1108.5411 (A. M. Sandorfi et al.)

A Rosetta Stone Relating Conventions In Photo-Meson Partial Wave
Analyses
   [PDF]

A. M. Sandorfi, B. Dey, A. Sarantsev, L. Tiator, R. Workman
A new generation of complete experiments in pseudoscalar meson photo-production is being pursued at several laboratories. While new data are emerging, there is some confusion regarding definitions of asymmetries and the conventions used in partial wave analyses (PWA). We present expressions for constructing asymmetries as coordinate-system independent ratios of cross sections, along with the names used for these ratios by different PWA groups. (This update reflects a recent change in the definition of an asymmetry as used by one group.)
