TY - JOUR AU - Pretz, Jörg AU - Müller, Fabian TI - Extraction of azimuthal asymmetries using optimal observables JO - The European physical journal / C VL - 79 IS - 1 SN - 1434-6044 CY - Heidelberg PB - Springer M1 - FZJ-2022-02580 SP - 47 PY - 2019 AB - Azimuthal asymmetries play an important role in scattering processes with polarized particles. This paper introduces a new procedure using event weighting to extract these asymmetries. It is shown that the resulting estimator has several advantages in terms of statistical accuracy, bias, assumptions on acceptance and luminosities compared to other estimators discussed in the literature.
