Integrated narrow vector resonance area
ID: integrated-narrow-vector-resonance-area
For a narrow vector meson formed and observed in , neglecting external masses and slowly varying kinematic factors gives . Integrating the Lorentz line shape gives the displayed result. A normalized instrumental convolution preserves this full area, although it changes the observed peak and width. A constant uncorrected acceptance multiplies the area and must be divided out before extracting the decay width.
