Correlated diphoton mass resolution

ID: correlated-diphoton-mass-resolution

Logarithmic differentiation of the diphoton mass gives at fixed angle. If are fractional energy standard deviations and their correlation coefficient, covariance propagation gives the displayed formula. A common multiplicative calibration error transfers directly to the reconstructed mass; independent errors combine differently. Angular errors, if present, add the corresponding derivative and covariance terms.
