Abstract

Abstract From the observed momenta and angles of decays in flight, variables are constructed which are better suited for the analysis than the measured quantities themselves. These variables are 1/P, the reciprocal of the primary momentum, α, a combination of the longitudinal momenta of the secondaries, and either pt , the transverse momentum, or the quantity e=2pt/P. The regularities in the distribution of the new variables, to be expected from a two-body decay, are discussed. The decay scheme may be derived by comparison with the experimental distributions.
