So do come irrespective of your level or literacy and send along any new students you've found recently.<br><br>Some questions to consider:<br><div>* What is Fierz interference? Why is it interesting, and what do we expect its value to be?</div><div>* How is the energy calibration performed? </div><div>* Is a linear detector response model justifiable? </div><div>* Is it okay to assume both detectors have the same calibration?</div><div>* What is a "super-sum"? What makes it an improvement over a normal sum? Is it definitely better than a super-ratio?</div><div>* Overall, is this result sound?</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,<br>Shadow Council</div></div></div>
