Identity Method for the Determination of the Moments of Multiplicity Distributions
Abstract
Recently the identity method was proposed to calculate second moments of the multiplicity distributions from event-by-event measurements in the presence of the effects of incomplete particle identification. In this paper the method is extended for higher moments. The moments of smeared multiplicity distributions are calculated using single-particle identity variables. The problem of finding the moments of the multiplicity distributions is reduced to solving of a system of linear equations.
